This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features one of Europe’s best-known and most-admired artists: Olafur Eliasson. 

This is Eliasson’s Multiple grotto (2004), which is in the collection of (and often on view at) the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The Baltimore Museum of Art has a related work, Flower observatory (2004). The best part: As you can see here, you walk into these pieces! 

An exhibition of Eliasson’s newest photographs — featuring his ancestral homeland of Iceland — opens this week at Chelsea’s Tanya Bonakdar Gallery. Also, Taschen has just published a new edition of “Studio Olafur Eliasson,” a 532-page ‘encyclopedia’ of Eliasson’s studio practice. (It’s available on Amazon for $25, a 40 percent discount.)

Download the Eliasson program to your PC/mobile device. Subscribe to The Modern Art Notes Podcast via iTunes or RSS. See images of artworks discussed on the program.
