In 2015 she became the first Iranian artist to have a solo exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum. The retrospective "Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian: Infinite Possibility" featured large-scale mirror sculptures the artist referred to as "geometric families," as well a series of mosaic mirror balls which were her homage to a disco ball, inspired by the glitz of the 1970s American pop culture.
