Þröstur Helgason
Birgir Andrésson (1955-2007) was one of Iceland’s most influential artists. For several years before Birgir’s untimely death, Þröstur Helgason worked on the former’s biography, interviewing him and documenting his stories. This is not a biography but an appraisal of the artist’s career, spiced with Birgir’s quirky stories of himself and others.
Þröstur Helgason (b. 1967) holds an MA degree in Icelandic literature and was cultural editor of daily newspaper Morgunblaðið for over a decade.
