Шаблон:Short description Chohreh Feyzdjou (Шаблон:Lang-fa, September 5, 1955 – February 17, 1996) was an Iranian artist.[1][2][3] She was known for sculpture and installation art; she covered her older works in black pigment and labeled them, then displayed them as you would see in a shop or at the bazaar.[1]
Biography
Chohreh Feyzdjou was born into a Jewish family in Tehran. Her father had changed the family name from Cohen to Feyzdjou, a more common surname for Persian people, in an attempt to blend in. She moved to Paris in 1975, where she studied fine art at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts. In France, she was told that her surname was unpronounceable and that she should change it.[1][4]
As of 1989, she began labelling her work with "Product of Chohreh Feyzdjou", each identified with a letter, a serial number and the year. Her pieces are generally coated in black pigment.[4][5]
Feyzdjou had her work included in exhibitions at the CAPC musée d'art contemporain de Bordeaux and the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume.[2] Her work was also included in Documenta11 in 2002.[4]
She died in Paris[2] from a genetic illness at the age of 40.[6]
