Wolfgang Laib in "Legacy"

In this preview from the Art in the Twenty-First Century Season 7 episode, Legacy, artist Wolfgang Laib discusses the role of pollen in his work. The artist is seen installing Pollen from Hazelnut (2013) at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 2013—sifting hazelnut pollen collected by the artist since the mid-1990s.

“I don’t want to explain to somebody what pollen is,” says the artist. “That is the secret and the beauty and the power and the potential of all this.”
