Concrete in Transition. The architect Erling Viksjø and his artist collaborators
Erling Viksjø’s buildings challenge many people’s concept of what good architecture is. He forged a unique working relationship with several artists. Art became a part of the architecture itself.
Erling Viksjø (1910–1971) was one of Norway’s most influential architects in the post-war period, known for his concrete architecture and high-rise buildings. This exhibition examines his extensive collaboration with artists such as Carl Nesjar, Pablo Picasso, Hannah Ryggen among others.
