While traveling I visited the Istanbul Modern Art Museum specifically to see an exhibit of Olafur Eliasson’s work. Eliasson is an Icelandic artist whose light installations have been shown around the globe.
My first encounter was almost twenty years ago at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. His hypnotic light tunnel shimmered and changed with every step through it.
In Reykjavik, his collaboration in the design of the Harpa concert hall was obvious—the building is a stunner. I’ve seen his work many times and it never fails to delight me.
The Istanbul show is WOW! These photos don’t do it justice.
