ICELANDIC ART TODAY
, Hatje Cantz, 2009 Hardcover, 336 pages, ENG. edition, 300 x 245 x 30 mm, in Very Good Condition, illustrated in color / b/w. ISBN 9783775722957.
Art in Iceland is as young as it is exciting. Considering the fact that Icelandic culture is strongly oriented toward language, the visual arts did not begin developing until the early twentieth century. This situation, which is remarkable for a Western country, may explain the unique nature of the contemporary art scene in Iceland. Even though international Conceptual Art continues to exercise a considerable influence and globalization is affecting this island in the North Atlantic, Icelandic art is nevertheless marked by a very specific creative energy and the pleasure of experimentation, and it has produced a large number of outstanding artists. Icelandic Art Today introduces fifty important protagonists of contemporary art , among them Finnbogi P tursson, Gabr ela Fridriksd ttir, Helgi Thorgils Fr dj nsson, Icelandic Love Corporation, Katr n Sigurdard ttir, Margr t H. Bl ndal, lafur lafsson + Libia Castro, Ragnar Kjartansson, R r , Steingr mur Eyfj rd.
