That's the secret of one of the most captivating pieces in the big Eliasson retrospective, organized by Madeleine Grynsztejn, now at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA). Beauty consists of a curtain of mist penetrated by a spotlight to produce a floating rainbow wall. The beckoning illusion looks slightly different to each viewer depending on where he or she is standing. Beauty, Eliasson wants you to know, really...
