35 years ago Negar Publishing started its operation with the aim of making works of Iranian Islamic art and culture available to the public. A love of the Iranian plateau and the multifaceted culture borne by this land has been the driving force of our publishing house. In this, Negar has benefited from the works of renowned artists who have done much to advance the Iranian print industry. We would not have succeeded without the input and support of scholars and readers in the field whose feedback has been essential to our mission.
