Iran has one of the most impressive collections of modern art outside Europe and the US. The collection was meant to travel to Germany for an exhibition this week but it has been postponed. Some people in Iran are concerned that the precious works of art could be sold if they leave the country. Journalist Saeed Kamali Dehghan explains how the collection was amassed.
