The Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art is a privately owned Contemporary Art gallery in Oslo in Norway. It was founded and opened to the public in 1993. The collection's main focus is the American appropriation artists from the 1980s, but it is currently developing towards the international contemporary art scene, with artists like Jeff Koons, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, Matthew Barney, Tom Sachs, Doug Aitken, Olafur Eliasson and Cai Guo-Qiang. The museum gives 6-7 temporary exhibitions each year. Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art collaborates with international institutions, and produces exhibitions that travels worldwide.〔http://www.artknowledgenews.com/2010_12_01_21_24_11_the_astrup_fearnley_museum_of_modern_art_welcomes_our_editor.html〕 In 2012 the museum moved to two new buildings by Renzo Piano on Tjuvholmen. ==History==
The museum opened in 1993, and was funded by two philanthropic foundations established by descendants of the Fearnley shipping family, the ''Thomas Fearnley Foundation'' and the ''Heddy and Nils Astrup Foundation''. The two foundations merged in 1995 to become the ''Thomas Fearnley, Heddy and Nils Astrup Foundation''. The Thomas Fearnley Foundation was established by shipping magnate Thomas Fearnley (1880–1961) in 1939; he was the son of shipping magnate Thomas Fearnley (1841–1927) and grandson of romantic painter Thomas Fearnley. The Heddy and Nils Astrup Foundation was named for Nils Ebbessøn Astrup, who was a maternal grandson of Thomas Fearnley (1841–1927). The museum created a stir in the international art world in 2002 when it purchased the American artist Jeff Koons's monumental sculpture in gilt porcelain of the pop star Michael Jackson with Bubbles, his favorite chimpanzee, for USD 5.1m.
