The Brilliant Mirrored Sculptures of Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian
The kaleidoscopic sculptures of Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian hold thousands of mirrors that dance like a diamond under a microscope.
The kaleidoscopic sculptures of Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian (1922-2019) are currently on view at both locations of the James Cohan Gallery in New York. These incredible works hold thousands of mirror sections that dance like a diamond under a microscope. Ignited by your own abstracted reflection they offer an otherworldly surprise with every step.
Both locations of the James Cohan Gallery are worth a visit. The Tribeca gallery is the most dazzling, showcasing several large three-dimensional sculptures and the inescapable ?Maze? works. The Lower East Side location dives deeper into Monir?s practice of works on paper along with additional mirrored works. Installation view, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, Mirror-works and Drawings (2004-2016), 48 Walker St
Born in Iran, Monir?s devotion to mirrored sculpture began after a visit to mirror mosaics of Shah Cheragh Mosque in Shiraz, Iran. Additionally involved and inspired by the New York art scene, her works dance between the principles of Islamic geometry and aesthetics of Western modernism. Her six-decades of practice resulted in deeply complex work and a powerful voice in the art world.
