In her work, Nazgol Ansarinia examines the systems and networks that underpin her daily life, such as everyday objects, routines, events, and experiences, and the relationship they form to a larger social context. This new monograph surveys the artist’s work of the last fifteen years in sculptures, installation, drawing, and video. The individual projects represent ways of understanding the role of architecture in delineating interior end exterior spaces and private and public spheres. Ansarinia’s works are largely observational and technical in their scope, offering insight into the issues that are most pressing and urgent for today’s cities and the populations that inhabit them. This fully illustrated publication features in-depth essays by Media Farzin, Hamed Khosravi, and Maria Lind.

The first thorough overview of a long-neglected Abstract Expressionist With decadent colors, loose brushstrokes and heavy-handed impasto, the paintings of the Iranian American artist Manoucher Yektai (1921–2019) fuse Eastern and Western traditions, synthesizing a unique blend of abstraction and figuration that owes as much to Franz Kline as it does to Cézanne and the poetry of Rumi. Influenced by his early life in Iran and his visits to Paris, and by the New York School, Yektai is recognized as one of the few Abstract Expressionists who also continued working in the still-life genre. An accomplished poet, he approached the act of painting with the melodic sensibility of his own free-verse poems. This fully illustrated monograph, featuring essays by Robert Slifkin, Fereshteh Daftari, Media Farzin and Biddle Duke, as well as a conversation between Hadi Fallahpisheh and Tahereh Fallahzadeh, charts the artist's output over the course of the late 1950s to the early 2000s, spotlighting his novel consideration of form, color and space.
