          Description
          The experimental art of Olafur EliassonAn encyclopedic vision on Olafur Eliasson’s art and architecture in XL format. Limited to 200 numbered copies, delivered in a luxurious clamshell box and each signed by the artist, the Art Edition features a special cover custom made by Olafur Eliasson: a cold-formed steel plate polished to a high gloss imitating the prismatic effect of raindrops falling into water.

          Studio Olafur Eliasson is an experimental laboratory located in Berlin. Led by renowned Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson, it functions as an interdisciplinary space, generating fresh dialogues between art and its surroundings.

          This rich sourcebook enables the reader to delve into the corners and crevices of the studio’s diverse projects. The key concepts behind the works are presented alphabetically and unfold in the course of short conversations with the artist.

          The majority of Eliasson’s thought-provoking installations, photographs, sculptures, and architectural projects to date are included, with additional material focusing on the research processes at Studio Olafur Eliasson. The introduction is provided by the noted art historian Philip Ursprung, who also participates in the conversations.
