His public art is installed at the Mount Eden Avenue train station commissioned through the Metropolitan Transit Authority Arts for Transit program. Bey has also curated over 100 exhibitions and performances at the Bronx River Art Center and Gallery, Bronx, NY and The Bronx Museum of the Arts, Bronx, NY As an Occult artist, Amir has been working in, and giving consultation in astrology, tarot, and coffee readings beginning in 1968. To those disciplines he has contributed these innovations: in astrology, he discovered The Part Of Union, after years of research. This point is a key to understanding relationships and how they are connected to purpose and destiny. He designed The Equinox Celebration Tarot, possibly the only tarot derived from 3-D images. And in his coffee readings he uses clear glass demitasse cups instead of the traditional porcelain. Amir consistently searches for new possibilities, whether in his work or in established concepts. That process has sometimes involved decades of involvement in the different areas of his multi-discipline oeuvre.
