As Far as the Eye Can See

As Far as the Eye Can See is a major survey of works by Birgir Andrésson at the Reykjavík Art Museum. The exhibition, curated by art historian Robert Hobbs, offers a broad and comprehensive overview of the work of Birgir Andrésson (1955-2007), a pivotal figure in Icelandic art.
