Museum in New York. In 2014, the same sculpture was exhibited at the contemporary art exhibition “Artevida corpo” at the Fundação Casa França-Brasil, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2017, the Mohsen Vaziri Moghaddam Foundation was created in Rome following the wish of the artist and his sons. Its goal is to increase the public’s awareness and enhance the understanding of Vaziri’s visual arts, promoting and protecting the artworks through the archive and publication of a catalogue raisonné. In 2017 the Foundation organized its first happening in the industrial area of Ex Dogana in Rome. On this occasion the artist made a large-size sand artwork across 20 canvases. In 2021 a major exhibition on Vaziri’s articulated wooden and plexiglass sculptures "Mohsen Vaziri Moghaddam. Unrealised Projects. Dynamic Sculptures from Small to Monumental 1968-2018” was held at Argo Factory, with the support of the Italian Embassy in Tehran. The exhibition offered a continuous dialogue between original sculptures and new reproductions, so that visitors had the opportunity to interact with the artwork, tightening and loosening bolts with a wrench, just like Vaziri used to encourage visitors to do in his exhibitions. One of Vaziri’s aluminium artwork (“Untitled 1968/2015”) from 1960s is currently on display as part of the touring exhibition “The Dynamic Eye: Op and Kinetic Art” organized by Tate Modern and Pudong Museum of Art, Shanghai. His works are held in the public collections of museums by the Museum of Modern Art; the Parviz Tanavoli Museum, and the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art.
