“Cry Me a River” by Ugo Rondinone at Kunstmuseum Luzern, on view until October 20th

In this exhibition horses, fish, rainbows, sun and lightning flashes are all familiar to us - Ugo Rondinone’s motifs are simple, immediate and accessible, and therein lies the strength of his works. With “thank you silence” he introduces the beauty of slowly fluttering snow into the museum space, thus awakening childhood memories: astonishment of the white splendor, delight in snowball fights, the angel outline in the white powdery snow.
