You and your guests will have the opportunity to visit Ali Banisadr's Brooklyn studio to learn more about the artist's practice and get a sneak peek at his latest body of work.

Banisadr is currently the subject of a landmark exhibition at the KMA- the artist's first major museum survey. His complex, expansive paintings are rich with figurative allusions rooted in autobiographical narratives, sonic recollection, invented stories, world history, collective memory, and mythology. Banisadr creates complex, turbulent worlds whose syncopated rhythms corral a multitude of references from art history as well as allusions to our own tempestuous times.

The Artist has been the recipient of numerous international solo and group exhibitions at: Asia Society, New York (2021); Museo Stefano Bardini & Palazzo Vecchio, Florence (2021); Victoria & Albert Museum, London (2021); Wadsworth Atheneum Museum, Hartford (2020); Benaki Museum, Athens (2020); Gemaldegalerie, Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna (2019); Centre Pompidou, Paris (2018); 55th Venice Biennale (2013) Saatchi Gallery, London (2009); and the Queens Museum of Art, NY (2008), among others. Banisadr's work is featured in public collections including: Albright- Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo; British Museum, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Het Noordbrabants Museum, Den Bosch, Netherlands; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum der Moderne, Salzburg; Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford.
