Gallerí Fold
Norwegian photographer Rune
Molnes's exhibition includes
The true story behind Hallgrímur Helgason’s lost paintings sounds
like the plot to a Parisian film—in the ‘90s he exhibited some of his
paintings in Galerie Philippe Rizzo (incidentally in Paris). Then one
day the gallery closed, and Hallgrímur’s paintings were nowhere
to be found. Thirteen years later, a friend of his told him about a
parcel lying in the storage space of another gallery in a garage in
Paris, and there they were, all of his long lost paintings. The series,
which Hallgrímur calls ‘I’m Home,’ are now again on display. Let’s
hope they don’t get lost again... SV
