In 2019, the art world mourned the passing of Monir Farmanfarmaian, an Iranian artist renowned for her beautiful geometric mirror sculptures. She’s honored today by Iran’s only museum dedicated to a single female artist. The first posthumous exhibition of work by Monir Farmanfarmaian, “A Mirror Garden,” is on view through April 9 at the High Museum. The show includes several of her famous mirror sculptures, as well as drawings, paintings, and textiles.
