Overview
This exhibition booklet is a record of Sharjah Art Foundation’s retrospective of the work of late artist Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian (1922-2019).

Through the merging of Eastern and Western cultures and histories, Sunset, Sunrise investigated the combination of Persian techniques and contemporary Western abstraction. It included more than seventy works on display ranging from painting, sculpture and jewellery to work on paper and collages.
