Bahman Mohassess conceived his lifelong experimentation with collage as “assemblage”–an extension of the fractured figuration and charged materiality that shaped his paintings and sculptures. This publication repositions his assemblages as a radical laboratory of artistic, intellectual, and political engagement. Essays by leading scholars and curators explore how Mohassess negotiated exile, sexuality, modernism, and dissent across postwar Iran, Central Europe, and Rome. Far from peripheral, these works emerge as central to understanding Mohassess’s distinct visual language and his complex position as a transnational queer artist navigating the cultural and political realities of the twentieth century.
