maren hassinger bampfa retrospective

The Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) will mount a comprehensive retrospective for interdisciplinary artist Maren Hassinger, opening in June 2025. Titled "Living Moving Growing," the exhibition will span her five-decade career, featuring early wire rope and tree branch sculptures from the 1970s, large-scale recreations, performances, and workshops. Co-curated by chief curator Margot Norton and senior curator Anthony Graham, the show aims to highlight Hassinger's dual practice as a sculptor and performer, with some works staged in partnership with the University of California Botanical Garden.

Farhad Moshiri In the Raha Gallery Collection

Iranian artist Farhad Moshiri passed away on July 17, 2024, at age 61. A pioneering figure in Middle Eastern contemporary art, Moshiri made history as the first artist from the region to sell a work at auction for over one million USD, achieving this milestone twice—first with "Love" at Bonhams Dubai in 2008 and later with "Secret Garden" at Christie's Dubai in 2013. The article highlights his work "Toothpicker" (2008), now part of the Raha Gallery Collection, which was exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery in London in 2010 and sold at Christie's Middle East in 2014. Moshiri's practice combined pop art, kitsch, and precious materials like crystals and glitter, earning him a solo exhibition at the Andy Warhol Museum in 2017.
