Summary, etc. Sunset, Sunrise is a major retrospective exhibition of the work of prominent Iranian artist Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian. With a career spanning more than six decades this exhibition offers a rare opportunity to rediscover the breathtakingly kaleidoscopic nature of Farmanfarmaian’s mirror sculptures, drawings, jewellery and previously unseen embroidery and collages, alongside new pen and ink drawings. Over 70 works are on display, encompassing a multitude of artistic genres which inform the artist’s practice. Farmanfarmaian was born in Qazvin, Iran in 1924. Between 1945 and 1957, she spent her formative years amidst the New York art scene, a time marked by friendships with fellow artists such as Frank Stella and Andy Warhol, before returning to Iran. Exiled following the Iranian Revolution of 1979, Farmanfarmaian returned once again to her native Iran and has been firmly re-established there since 2004. Farmanfarmaian is considered to be one of the most important Iranian artists working today. Sunset, Sunrise reflects a life lived between two cultures, across histories of East and West. Farmanfarmaian’s early involvement with graphic design and experimental modern abstraction in New York City gave way to a period of intense research into traditional craftsmanship and folk art in Iran’s more remote regions.
