I bought this book because I like Roni Horn's work and I have visited Iceland. Horn's work is full of magical unexpectedness, revealing commonplace things that are also bizarre. Also beautiful. There is something mad and wonderful, but also ordinary, about so many houses having paintings by this artist. Could this be done in any other country? I think not. Surreally brilliant.
Listmania!
