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.

Farmanfarmaian’s work has appeared in some major collections including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Jameel Collection, London; the Queensland Art Gallery, Australia; and the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art.

    HOW I GOT MY EX HUSBAND BACK AFTER A DIVORCED BY THE HELP OF PRIEST MOGIES A MARRIAGE/RELATIONSHIP SPECIALIST WHATSAPP 2348161536183
    My Dear friends online, My name is Lucy Roland And I live in the USA, I have to give this miraculous testimony, which is so unbelievable until now. I had a problem with my Ex husband 2 years ago, which led to our break up. I was not myself again, I felt so empty inside me, my love and financial situation became worse, until a close friend of mine told me about a spell caster who helped her in the same problem too. His name is PRIEST MOGIES. I emailed the spell caster and I told him my problem and I did what he asked of me, to cut the long story short. Before I knew what was happening, less than two days later my husband gave me a call and told me that he was coming back to me. I was so happy to have him back. The most interesting part of the story is that I am pregnant. Thanks to PRIEST MOGIES for saving my marriage and for also saving others’ own too. I got everything I wanted and wished for, my husband is back to the man I got married to. You can contact PRIEST MOGIES, because he saved my marriage from crashing. contact him immediately:2348161536183 or email him:mogiespsychichome@gmail.com
