Language: English

Softcover

The Iranian artist Parastou Forouhar expresses her reaction to the perplexing situations in her homeland through a wide variety of techniques, from photography to digital drawings and multi-media installations.

Summary:This publication presents a selection of Forouhar's most startling work so far, created in response to the dramatic social and political upheaval that she experienced after the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and the murder of her parents in Tehran. Though the inspiration behind Forouhar's subject matter may be tragic, her work has a great emotional range: the results are sometimes macabre, occasionally darkly humorous and often purely joyful. Published to coincide with the artist's first solo show in the UK at Leighton House Museum, London, in October 2010, this is the first English-language monograph on her work. The artist's work is in the permanent collections of The Queensland Art Museum, Queensland; Belvedere, Vienna; Badisches Landes museum, Karlsruhe; Museum of Modern Art, Frankfurt; and the Deutsche Bank Art Collection. Rose Issa provides a foreword and there are essays by the curator and film-maker Lutz Becker and the author and art critic Russell Harris. -- Publication description
