Danish artist Erik Frandsen created for Copenhagen's Glyptotek this very contemporary staging of the museum's collection of ancient art. Colored paving and a monumental steel piece enlighten the hieratic statues with their bold tones, shapes, and motifs. Under the same impulse, Frandsen had a set of mosaics crafted in Pietrasanta as they were crafted two thousand years ago; but he borrowed their subjects from Marvel or Disney. The conversation works just fine.
