Venue: Pola Museum of Art, Galleries 1 and 2

The Pola Museum of Art is pleased to present a solo exhibition of the work of Roni Horn, one of the most prominent American artists working today. This will be her first solo exhibition at a museum in Japan.

The exhibition will be an in-depth survey of the artist’s practice spanning over 40 years , from the 1980s to the present, including the glass sculptures which are among her most prominent works of recent years, exploring a multifaceted body of work that can be as sharp and solid as ice, as humorous and ever-changing as clouds, and as fluid and open to interpretation as water.
