Global/Local 1960–2015: Six Artists from
Iran features works by three generations of Iranian
artists born between 1937 and 1982 including Shiva Ahmadi,
Assistant Professor of Art at UC Davis. The exhibition presents
some ten works each by six artists, examining their individual
artistic practices through shared aspects of their Persian
heritage, such as ornamentation, poetry, architecture, and
Sufism. Comprising paintings, sculpture, drawings, mixed-media
installations, and video, the show includes key works from NYU’s
Abby Weed Grey Collection of Modern Asian and Middle Eastern Art,
which comprises the largest holdings of 20th-century art from
Iran outside that country.
