signed and numbered, certificate
GALERIE VAN GELDER EDITION
In 1990, Hreinn Fridfinnsson made an edition for Galerie van Gelder that consisted of a piece of metal fencing with twelve Swarovski crystals. He wanted the certificate to state 'No title'. Years later, if I remember correctly in 1994, he had come up with the title 'Fragment of remembrance'. In his youth he saw at his home that the sheep were brought from the mountains at the end of the summer and then driven into the valley within the fence of the farm. He used that typical Icelandic fencing that he remembered for this Galerie van Gelder Edition. And hence the title he gave it afterwards.
