Anthony Benjamin Art
British, 1931-2002
Anthony Benjamin (1931– 2002) FRSA, RE was an English painter, sculptor and printmaker. Benjamin studied with the best. In 1951 he worked in Paris under Fernand Léger and in 1959 he studied with Stanley William Hayter at Atelier 17. Benjamin worked in Rome, St Ives, London, California and Calgary. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, UK
In the 1950’s his work, inspired by the Cornish light, land and seascape, led him to a new understanding of tone and temper. Henry Moore and Peter Lanyon encouraged him, Francis Bacon gave him canvasses, and working within this rich atmosphere, Benjamin produced work which became more expansive, colourful and gradually more abstract in concept, sliding into Abstract Expressionism
By the 1970’s Benjamin had started making sculptures that were more relevant to the exciting, modern, fast-moving transient world that was opening up at the time in London. He used modern materials, coloured plastic, fibreglass, polished metal, stainless steel and bronze. Intense glowing colour and reflections; amorphous and ambiguous shapes created works that crossed the conventional boundaries. Inspired by his close friendship with musician Brian Eno of Roxy Music, Benjamin started making series of Limited Edition silkscreen prints that used the same vibrant colours and similar shapes as the sculpture. Many from these series are in the Tate Collections in London.
Benjamin’s first solo show in London was at the Institute of Contemporary Art in 1966. Following this he was quickly picked up by leading London Gallery Gimpel Fils. His work is held in major public and private collections around the world including Tate London, MoMA NY, The Smithsonian and MCA Tokyo

Modernist Persian Iranian Middle Eastern Abstract Fereydoun Assa Oil Painting
Located in Surfside, FL
Fereydoun (Fred) Rahimi Assa (Iranian, b. 1936)
Oil and mixed media on canvas, Hand signed lower left
Framed : 48-1/2"h x 36-1/2"w
Sight: 48"h x 36"w Made with metallic paint, the abstract expressionist bears geometric designs and symbols.
Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, Fereydoun Rahimi Assa (b. 1936) moved to Tehran at the age of three. He attended the College of Decorative Arts, Tehran in the same year group as well-known formidable masters, Hossein Zenderoudi and Massoud Arabshahi.
After being awarded a travelling scholarship in 1964, Rahimi-Assa went to Israel for three months of study. Although Rahimi-Assa saw success through the several exhibitions he held in Israel, unable to secure a long-term visa and not keen to return to Iran, he found himself in the US – in no small part, thanks to the help of Eric Azari in obtaining a long-term residency visa.
Fred Rahimi-Assa went first to New York and later settled in New Jersey. While in New York, he worked in some capacity at Columbia University’s Painting department where he also exhibited several times, including a solo show in 1968. In the same year, Rahimi-Assa participated in a group exhibition of Modern Persian painting, sponsored by the Centre for Iranian Studies at Columbia University – founded that year by Professor Ehsan Yarshater (Hagop Kevorkian Professor of Iranian Studies, Columbia University). After moving out of the City, to New Jersey in the 1970s, Rahimi Asa continued to exhibit with local institutes and organized art seminars in the homes of various artists.
His work was included in the Middle East auction held by Sotheby's. It includes pioneering artists such as Egyptian Mahmoud Mokhtar, Moroccan modernism, Mohammed Melehi, Lebanese Huguette Caland and Bahman Mohasses...
