Kristján Guðmundsson was born in Snæfellsnes 1941. He is a self-taught artist who held his first exhibition in Café Mokka, Reykjavík 1968. He was a founding member of Gallery SÚM 1969 and served as its director for the first year. After that Guðmundsson moved to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and lived there for the next nine years, after that he settled in Hjalteyri.

 

Guðmundsson is one of the best-known representatives of concept art in Iceland. With his works and choice of material he stretches the limit of conventional definition of art. During his career he has exhibited his work far and wide, mostly though in Europe and the US. He is also known for his artist-books. His work and books can be found in various museum collections and in 2010 he received the Swedish Carnegie Awards.

 

This exhibition consists of eight works that are displayed for the first time in Iceland. Ingibjörg Jóhannsdóttir arranged the print and selection of paper. All works are one copy – unique.

 

Curator: Sigríður Örvarsdóttir.
