Reykjavík Art Museum - Kjarvalsstaðir
Miklatún, next to Flókagata | On permanent view
As a pioneer who put graphic art firmly on the map of the
Icelandic art scene in the 1970s and 80s, her work could easily
be described as Andy Warhol with an Icelandic twist. However,
in a career spanning over four decades that has seen numerous
transformations in expression and technique, the highly prolific
and influential artist Ragnheiður Jónsdóttir is still held with high
regard in the popular imaginations of Icelanders. A dynamic
artist who has trodden a unique career path, this is definitely an
individual's footsteps worth following. JL
