Art lovers have a new address in Monte Carlo to add to their must-visit list in Monaco – Galerie Maria Behnam-Bakhtiar, which has just opened with punch. Featuring the artwork of Iranian-American artist Farzad Kohan, whose exhibition Human Being, Being Human explores the lived experience, the inaugural event set the tone for the gallery’s future endeavours. Founded and directed by art connoisseur Maria Behnam-Bakhtiar, it aims to be much more than just an art space; as well as promoting international artists, the gallery will partner with charities and work to improve art dialogue in the French Riviera, as its founder explains here.
