September 15 - January 8 | National Gallery Of Iceland (F3) | Admission: 1,500 ISK
It all began on the second floor of a home on Laugavegur,
where Péter Arason and Ragna Róbertsdóttir opened a small
gallery space, appropriately called “Second Floor.” Hundreds
of contemporary artists, from Iceland and abroad, passed
through this welcoming space, creating the foundation of
the couple’s extensive private art collection. They have since
compiled over 1000 contemporary works dating back to the
early 1960s, and are now showing selection from the collec-
tion at the National Gallery of Iceland. Besides this tempo-
rary exhibition, they offer art works on permanent view both
in Reykjavík and Berlin under the name “SAFN,” which, also
very appropriately, means “collection.” JP
