Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian Interview Part 2

Video Apr 2011

Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian joins ArtAsiaPacific for an afternoon at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where her recent work, Flight of the Dolphin (2010), was recently added to the permanent collection. While viewing this beautiful mirrored mosaic, Farmanfarmain recalls her personal history and reflects upon her use of geometric form and relationship to traditional Iranian craft.

Farmanfarmaian was featured on the cover of AAP 68 (May/June 2010). HG Masters’ feature charted the arc of her career from her early artistic activity in New York during the 1940s to her recent mirror mosaics that uniquely combine modernist abstract geometry and Iranian artisanal traditions.
