The gallery is on 207 West 18th Street and features works by artists with a connection to Long Island. I have Outdoor Bench #3 with them and I look forward to a continuing relationship with them.

Look for the latest issue of Hamptons Magazine pictured below and make sure to visit Michael Hennessy Home when in NYC. mhhome.net

He explained that the piece was about Iranian Artists who were exhibiting in the show. I had met the producer in New York City when he was producing a documentary on my father, Manoucher Yektai. I reminded him that I did not speak Farsi which meant that my only qualifications were being half Persian and the fact that i was born in Teheran Iran. He told me not to worry and that they would dub in a Farsi voice for me. I took this as an opportunity to be exposed to their audience of 14 million people Iranians both inside and outside of Iran. I also took this as an opportunity to upgrade my voice. I asked for a strong, authoritative voice for the voiceover. Anything is better than my natural voice!

I was happy to participate and to my surprise there were other artists at the show with ties to Iran.
