What a loss. Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian has passed away aged 96. She was a sparkling spirit and a legendary artist. My mini tribute is now up on my site (link in bio). I am sure many, many more tributes will flood in as the news spreads. As her mirrors will continue to reflect light, so her work will live on #rip #monir #monirfarmanfarmaian #monirshahroudyfarmanfarmaian #iran #tehran #art #geometry #mirror @thethirdlinedxb
