Biography
Erró (born 1932 in Ólafsvík, Iceland), actually Guðmundur Guðmundsson, is among the most internationally influential contemporary artists of Iceland. For many decades he has lived and worked between Paris and Spain, and he has developed into a key figure of European Pop Art and politically charged visual culture.
Already in the early 1960s Erró attracted attention by organizing happenings as the first Icelandic artist and by participating in intermedial art actions. Parallel to this, he experimented with film and early forms of media art. He became globally known above all for his vividly colored paintings and complex collages in which he interweaves popular image worlds, political iconography, and visual mass culture. His works are characterized by an overflowing abundance of imagery, satirical distortions, and a critical play with consumerism, power, and globalization.
Erró’s works are represented in major international museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. However, the world’s largest collection of his artistic output is located at Reykjavik Art Museum (Listasafn Reykjavíkur), which honors Erró’s work in several comprehensive presentations.

With his unmistakable style, his cultural impact, and decades of presence in the international art scene, Erró is today regarded as one of the most influential voices in European contemporary art.
