Summary:

One of the most wide-ranging and ambitious creative minds of his generation, Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson has produced a dizzying spectrum of work around the world. Perhaps best known in the United States for his "upside-down waterfall" installation in New York, his constant inventiveness and public projects have entranced huge numbers of people. Working in a variety of fields and media, there is no end to his creative ambition and the delight his works elicit. Olafur Eliasson is an artist living and working in Copenhagen and Berlin. His work ranges from installations and sculpture to photography, film, pavilions, and other built environments, and has been exhibited worldwide in institutions such as MoMA, Tate Modern, and the Venice Biennale.
