In memory of Kristján Guðmundsson

In memory of Kristján Guðmundsson

It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Kristján Guðmundsson.⁠
⁠
He was one of the most important conceptual artists to emerge from Iceland in the mid-1960s. He became widely known for his radical minimal work and continued to explore his minimalist themes, particularly the poetic tension between something and nothing.⁠
In 2010, Guðmundsson received the prestigious Carnegie Award in recognition of his lifelong artistic work. Over the course of his career, he exhibited widely and left a lasting impact on many generations of artists.⁠
⁠
Timothy Persons and then Persons Projects had the honor of showing his work, including this year exhibitions 'Mostly Drawings' which will remain one of our most memorable shows.⁠
⁠
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, and all his friends.
