Francesca von Habsburg's T-B A21 Unveils Second Pavilion at Seville Biennial
Francesca von Habsburg, a prominent collector and founder of ThyssenBornemisza Art Contemporary (T-B A21), sponsors unconventional contemporary art projects globally. Her organization supports talks, artworks, and events at international biennials. In October, T-B A21 revealed its second pavilion, The Morning Line, at the 3rd Seville Biennial. This pavilion resulted from a collaboration between artist Matthew Ritchie and architects Aranda\Lasch.
