Gudmundur Gudmundsso - later Erró - was born in 1932 in Olafsvik, in the northwest of Iceland. Admitted to the Reykjavik School of Fine Arts in 1949, he graduated as an art teacher in 1951.
He went to Norway where he studied engraving, fresco and painting at the Academy of Oslo. His first solo exhibition took place in 1955 in Florence.
In 1958, he settled in Paris where his work was revealed in the context of narrative figuration. Erro collected images (advertisements, news photos, comic strips, posters, etc.) and assembled them, always with humor, to form collages, then paintings, denouncing the aberrations of our society: directed consumption, mercantile eroticism, etc.
In 2014, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Lyon dedicated a major exhibition to him, for which we published this scarf. Silver Surfer Saga, a 3m by 5m canvas that Erró offered to the city of Lyon, comes from the Saga of America Comics series.
