Catalogue for the special exhibition Iconoclasm – Art as a Battleground, Glyptoteket, 05.12.2024 – 18.05.2025.
From ancient times to today iconoclasm has raised questions about power, faith and identity. The word comes from the Greek eikon (image) and the derivation of klaein (to break or crush), and describes the deliberate destruction of works of art, symbols and monuments. Through a broad range of richly illustrated articles Iconoclasm – Art as a Battleground explores the many facets of the phenomenon as a destructive as well as creative force.
