Olafur Eliasson: BAROQUE BAROQUE

Belvedere and Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (TBA21) are pleased to announce their upcoming exhibition with the Danish Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. BAROQUE BAROQUE is an ambitious venture that brings together and reconnects some of Eliasson's most significant works from the holdings of Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (TBA21) and the Juan and Patricia Vergez Collection. The overview of artworks from two decades of Eliasson's artistic pratice will explore the affinities between his work and the extraordinary baroque setting of the Belvedere's Winter Palace of Prince Eugene of Savoy in Vienna. Alongside these works, new site-specific interventions will activate and articulate the historical ensemble, establishing a dialogue between the volubility of the baroque architecture and the modulating perception provided by Eliasson's artworks.
