In celebration of the 30-year anniversary of Gerdarsafn the exhibition Transformation will be opened, which brings to light the unique heritage that Gerður Helgadóttir left in Icelandic art and bears witness to her deep search for aesthetic truth.
On the same occasion we celebrate the release of the publication In search of space – Exploring the art of Gerður Helgadóttir, a collection of critical essays which follows the artist in the vortex of modernism in Paris and explores her connection to other artists and her position in post-war Europe.
Finally, a new sculpture garden will be unveiled outside the museum, where visitors can finally see the artworks of Gerdur both indoors and out. Just as intended by their maker.
