fruits market

The fruit and vegetable markets were Mohsen Gholami`s first collection in sculpture. He started studying exhibitions and galleries when he was a university student who had more time to get to know gallery owners and collectors. After several years, he realized that a strange cycle was occurring in sculpture. Golden and shiny bronze sculptures were priced and sold only based on the material and weight of the sculptures. In a period spanning several years, the concept had given away to materiality and decoration. In the same period and at the peak of this issue, in the sculpture expo of 2011, he created a collection under the title of fruit and vegetable market, which was molded from real fruits. In his opinion, these bronze and shiny pieces had no artistic value, and due to the arrangement,
he made of fruits, he sold fruit sculptures by kilos during a performance, and at the Expo of 2011 he turned this arrangement into a work of art, which later displayed the continuation of this arrangement in the Biennale of Sculpture in Tehran. The name of his work in the Sculpture Biennale was “Bottom of the Load” due to a few sculptures had remained for sale.
