He was the founder and director of the Iran Modern Art Gallery in Tehran, Iran.Tabatabai's present fame is mostly due to his creative figures and metal sculptures which he assembled with parts from old machinery and cars.
His style is close to the Saghaneh School; milk-women and suns are repeating themes in his work.
