Since its opening in 1971, Stockholm’s Museum of Photography has held 150 exhibitions. They have attempted to emphasize two different functions of photography: the photograph as an isolated artistic experience and the photograph as representative of the historical development of this art form in the last 150 years. In the past, viewing a photo implied registering a singular image. Today however, a photograph also aims to express the artist’s ideas, experiences, and emotions. This catalog rejoices in the developments of the 1980s, a turning point for photography whereby the talents of a photographer increasingly simulate those of painter. Stunning photographs by Hans Cogne, Lennart Durehed, Åke E:son Lindman, Tuija Lindström, and Håkan Valentin cogently depict these recent developments that have carved out a much-deserved place for photography in the art world.

Here are erotic black-and-white photographs of women lying or sitting, partially or totally nude, sometimes dressed only in a corset or black fishnet stockings. The women are very much “ œthe lady next door,“ with body types that range from slim to lush.

This display of 224 mostly 19th century photographs from the Moderna Museet’s collection of photography and photo prints based on art, is only the tip of a massive, still growing and largely unexposed iceberg, yet it gives a clear indication of the range and competence of the whole. Above all, the Desiring Eye focuses on the obsessive compulsion of the photographer to fix the fleeting, transient sensations of the world around him into some kind of chemical and artistic certainty. Throughout the entire history of photography from the 1840s to the present, one constant is the desire of the photographer to capture an image which works and exists at many levels. Included among many Julia Margaret Cameron, Nadar, Walker Evans, Henri Cartier-Bresson, etc.

This artist always has a pencil and a camera within reach. Her primary artistic media is drawing, painting and photography. For 30 years, the hunt for identity and resolution led Diedrichsen through various media that are linked to each other by an interest in space, territory and the existential. And the themes are to be found everywhere, irrespective of where she happens to be: at home, travelling, nearby things, distant things, objects, places, television, herself. She photographs with the sensitivity of a painter focusing on the atmosphere, light and colour.

In this beautiful large-format book we follow Carl von Linne like a shadow during the 1700’s, when he was an inventor, when he traveled to England and Holland, his revolutionary organization of botany, which is used today, his home in Hammarby, his travels in Sweden, his interest for food and his family. The keen eye of the world renowned Swedish photographer Hans Hammarskiöld has created a feast for the eye and Tony Lewenhaupt has given us substantial food for the brain.

Johansen’s photographs are rarely rich in expression; they primarily contain an idiosyncratic sense of humor coupled with sensuousness; they are thoroughly musical and expressive of a soul, a ring of despair which can only be compared to music. Heartrendingly beautiful, black and white photographs often manipulated to look like canvas or rugged stone.
