Born in a small town in northwest Iran in 1924, Monir Farmanfarmaian studied fine arts at the University of Tehran for only six months before deciding to move to Paris. But, with World War II raging, the ambitious young artist was denied entry in France; she opted instead for the United States, landing in New York City in 1944. \u201cShe traveled to the right place at the right time,\u201d argues her old friend Frank Stella in Cosmic Geometry<\/a><\/em>, Farmanfarmaian\u2019s first and much-anticipated monograph, a testament of her continuing importance to contemporary Iranian art. Stella goes on to describe her facility with Abstract Expressionism\u2019s \u201cflatness\u201d and \u201cimagelessness\u201d\u2014her childhood home was filled with stained glass and wall murals\u2014but neglects to mention all the other juicy details of her first decade in New York: how she rubbed elbows with the great artists of the day, including Pollock, de Kooning, and Rothko, at the Cedar Tavern and at the Arts Students League; how she worked as an illustrator for Bonwit Teller under Andy Warhol. \u201cI wasn\u2019t bad looking,\u201d she says, \u201cso everyone invited me to their parties.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1957, she moved back to Tehran, married a young, American-educated lawyer named Abolbashar Farmanfarmaian, and began working with broken glass and mirrors in her studio\u2014materials that became her hallmarks. She recounts traveling in 1966 to the Sh\u0101h Ch\u00e9r\u0101gh<\/a> mosque in Shiraz, Iran, a shrine \u201cfilled with high ceilings, domes, and mirror mosaics with fantastic reflections.\u201d \u201cWe sat there for half an hour, and it was like a living theater,\u201d she notes. \u201cPeople came in all their different outfits and wailed and begged to the shrine, and all the crying was reflected all over the ceiling \u2026 I said to myself, I must do something like that, something that people can hang in their homes.\u201d <\/p>\n

Farmanfarmaian\u2019s glimmering output reflects her reverence for and study of traditional Iranian art, especially patterned crafts from nomadic tribes and the mystical geometry of Islamic monuments. Her art also showcases a deep affection for handmade materials and ancient techniques. She often works with master craftsmen to produce her large-scale three-dimensional designs, complex and colorful panels that easily evoke both Sufism and modern architecture.<\/p>\n

When the Iranian revolution broke out in 1979 and her possessions were seized\u2014among them her Marilyn <\/em>painting, a gift from Warhol, which was consigned to Tehran\u2019s Museum of Contemporary Art\u2014she took refuge in New York and focused on her daily practice of drawing flowers, tending her garden, and designing brilliant geometric rugs and intricate glass sculptures. She returned to Tehran in 2000 and, at eighty-eight, lives there today.<\/p>\n

The Marilyn<\/em> was recently put up for auction at Sotheby\u2019s, her address still on the back of the piece, alongside the dedication \u201cto Monir with love.\u201d<\/p>\n
