The V&A would like to acquire a set of ten of Golestan’s Polaroids for their collection. We would like to assist in the fundraising efforts to place these works in the V&A’s collection, one of the largest and most important photography collections in the world, and preserve Golestan’s legacy as a historically significant photographer.
