Sara Rahbar is a contemporary artist who was born in Tehran in 1976, and now lives and works in New York. She left her birthplace during the period of immense upheaval that followed the revolution in Iran and the start of the Iran-Iraq war.

Coming-of-age against a back drop of post-war austerity and the explosion of colour that characterized the 1960s counter-culture in London, Penny Slinger embraced her generation’s quest for personal freedom and sexual liberation and channeled these desires into her ground-breaking collages and sculptures. So powerful was her vision that 45 years later her work is still influencing contemporary artists. In 2019, Penny was the subject of the documentary movie Out of the Shadows, directed by Richard Kovitch.
