It was founded and opened to the public in 1993.[1] The collection’s main focus is the American appropriation artists from the 1980s, but it is currently developing towards the international contemporary art scene, with artists like Jeff Koons, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, Matthew Barney, Tom Sachs, Doug Aitken, Olafur Eliasson, and Cai Guo-Qiang. The museum gives 6-7 temporary exhibitions each year. Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art collaborates with international institutions and produces exhibitions that travel worldwide.[2] In 2012 the museum moved to two new buildings designed by Renzo Piano in Tjuvholmen.Table of ContentsHistory[edit]The collection[edit]Exhibitions[edit]Old museum building[edit]New museum[edit]Controversies[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]  The Fearnley family of shipping magnates is descended from romantic painter Thomas FearnleyThe museum opened in 1993, and was funded by two philanthropic foundations established by descendants of the Fearnley shipping family, the Thomas Fearnley Foundation and the Heddy and Nils Astrup Foundation.The two foundations merged in 1995 to become the Thomas Fearnley, Heddy and Nils Astrup Foundation. The Thomas Fearnley Foundation was established by shipping magnate Thomas Fearnley (1880\u20131961) in 1939; he was the son of shipping magnate Thomas Fearnley (1841\u20131927) and grandson of romantic painter Thomas Fearnley. The Heddy and Nils Astrup Foundation was named for Nils Ebbess\u00f8n Astrup, who was a maternal grandson of Thomas Fearnley (1841\u20131927).The museum created a stir in the international art world in 2002 when it purchased the American artist Jeff Koons’s monumental sculpture in gilt porcelain of the pop star Michael Jackson with Bubbles, his favourite chimpanzee, for US$5.1 million.The collection[edit]The permanent collection consists of works of Norwegian and International Contemporary Art.[3] The museum collection was originally based on a private collection that goes back thirty years and has significantly developed with the many changes in modern\/contemporary art. There has been an interest in German Abstract Expressionism, English modern painting, and the Young British Artists. Presently the collection is orientated towards the young American art scene. It also encompasses works pertaining to the steadily increasing global art community. The main areas of curatorial expertise in the museum are art from the 1960s to the present, including American and European pop-art, post-modern appropriation art of the 1980s and international contemporary art. Much needed additional space will be provided by 2012 when the museum moves into two new buildings designed by Renzo Piano.[2] The collection includes works by artists such as;Janine Antoni, Francis Bacon, Matthew Barney, Dado, Gardar Eide Einarsson, Robert Gober, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Douglas Gordon, Cai Guo-Qiang, Damien Hirst, Anselm Kiefer, Jeff Koons, Louise Lawler, Sherrie Levine, Bjarne Melgaard, Bruce Nauman, Shirin Neshat, Sigmar Polke, Richard Prince, Charles Ray, Jason Rhoades, Gerhard Richter, Tom Sachs, Cindy Sherman, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Andy Warhol.[4]Architecture of Renzo PianoAstrup Fearnley Museum of Modern ArtAstrup Fearnley Museum of Modern ArtAstrup Fearnley Museum of Modern ArtSculpture outside of the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern ArtExhibitions[edit]“Europe, Europe”\u20142014[5]2012To Be With Art Is All We Ask.Highlights from the permanent collection.2011VideoSpace.Surrounding Bacon & Warhol.Dan Colen-Peanuts.2009Rotating Views #2 \u2013 Astrup Fearnley Collection.Nate Lowman \u2013 The Natriot Act.Indian Highway.Rotating Views #1 \u2013 Astrup Fearnley Collection.2007China Power Station: Part II.Ann Lislegaard \u2013 Science Fiction and other worlds.Richard Prince \u2013 Canaries in the Coal Mine.2006Charles Ray \u2013 Black & White.MORE THAN THE WORLD \u2013 Astrup Fearnley Collection.Knut \u00c5sdam \u2013 Retrospective.Not all is visible \u2013 Astrup Fearnley Collection.Tom Sachs: SURVEY.

Designed by LPO architects and designers, the museum opened in the autumn of 1993 and encloses an area of about 2500m\u00b2.The old museum building had a main entrance on Revierstredet, marked with monumentally large steel doors; when the doors are open, one can see from a great distance that the museum is open.The exhibition spaces covered two floors. The height of the galleries varies from 3,5 to 10,5 meters. In the design of the gallery spaces, the emphasis is upon the rooms expressing humility in relation to the artworks; simultaneously they provide the works with a beautiful and functional frame. Emphasis is also laid upon the entryway and exhibition spaces being airy and pleasant to move about in. The floor-design provides great flexibility for temporary constructions and installations. The choice of materials expresses quality but with limited means\u2014here the artworks are the main focus. The concrete wall, like a circular movement in the museum, establishes a powerful but nevertheless subdued backdrop; the stairway to the main gallery, formed in steel with steps of smoked oak, shows an unambiguous connection between the two floors. The stone floor is made of Cascais Azul, a Portuguese sandstone.Aside from the sculpture garden, the exhibition spaces are devoid of daylight, yet they have general artificial lighting that can be specifically adapted to any requirement.The administration department is situated on the mezzanine; with a predominance of steel elements, it is an architectural volume in its own right.[6]New museum[edit]  Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art is now situated on Tjuvholmen in the centre of Oslo. The new museum was designed by the architect Renzo Piano and opened on 29 September 2012,.[7]  It consists of two buildings housing the museum’s permanent collection as well as temporary exhibitions.[8]Large, modern exhibition spaces give the museum the possibility to continue its ambitious program of temporary exhibitions. Altogether, Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art has at its disposition about 4200 m\u00b2. The museum is situated in the Tjuvholmen skulpturpark, also designed by Renzo Piano.[7]Controversies[edit]In 2012, the decision by the private Astrup Fearnley Museum to accept sponsorship from the Norwegian arm of the Swedish-based oil company  Lundin Petroleum caused public criticism.[9]References[edit]External links[edit]Coordinates: 59\u00b054\u203227\u2033N 10\u00b044\u203239\u2033E\ufeff \/ \ufeff59.90750\u00b0N 10.74417\u00b0E\ufeff \/ 59.90750; 10.74417  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/astrup-fearnley-museum-of-modern-art\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art"}}]}]
