–IJER, MAYA EIZIN.

Author: Zeipel, Agneta Von, ed
Year: 2004
Country or State of Origin: Sweden

A major figure on the art scene in Sweden ever since the 1970s, the world of images she uses are instantly fascinating whether it be mixed media on canvas or photography. The bright red contrasting the color black, a sublime and subversive vocabulary of images characterized by desire, corruption, dreams and shadowy landscapes. The aim of the book is to document her extensive oeuvre from the 1970s right up to her most recent paintings from 2004 in both words and pictures. Essays by Lars O. Ericsson, Jan-Erik Lundström and John Peter Nilsson approach Maya’s work from different angles, offering readers a comprehensive view. Her work is very up-to-date and has a sense of sophistication.

AF KLINT, HILMA: I DESCRIBE THE WAY AND MEANWHILE I AM PROCEEDING ALONG IT. A Short Introduction on Method and Intention in Hilma af Klint’s Work from as Esoteric Perspective

Author: Lindén, Gurli
Year: 1998
Country or State of Origin: Sweden

Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) was a progressive and spiritualist painter and a pioneer among women artists. She regarded herself to to be a disciple of “High Masters” from another dimension, and she expressed in her painting what she understood as her dialogue with the movements of Theosophy and Rosicrucianism. She was also a student of Rudolph Steiner’s teachings. Her work ranges from the colorful, geometrical style of early modernism, to excellent portraits, to an abstracted fantasy world reminiscent of Klimt. This short monograph contains a biographical essay presenting her ideas, her reasoning and her ambitions in a most intriguing and concise manner.

ANASTASI, WILLIAM. A Retrospective

Author: Delin Hansen, Elisabeth, Christina Helvad, and Iben Overgaard, et al
Year: 2001
Country or State of Origin: Denmark

This retrospective exhibition marks the first large-scale presentation in Scandinavia of works by this important American artist. He employs a wide spectrum of techniques: sculpture, photography, painting, drawing, collage, “sound objects,” incisions into the wall, even paint poured or thrown onto a wall. With a touch of humor, he inserts reality-elements into the artistic context and enlists the aid of randomness as a collaborator. This catalogue also includes key essays that introduce Anastasi’s entire oeuvre and analyse his work from the 1960s.

Author: Zeipel, Agneta Von, Curator
Year: 2004
Country or State of Origin: Sweden

In the 1990s and thereafter Annika von Hausswolff became established as one of the leading figures in Swedish and Scandinavian contemporary art. Many of her photographic works have already become classics. She is one of the Swedish artists who has received most notice internationally in recent years and she has represented Sweden at several major exhibitions including the Venice Biennial in 1999. She belongs to a generation of young, women artists who have used photographic images conceptually with a clear gender perspective and a critically analytical approach. The exhibition comprises almost 50 works and this makes it one of the larger shows of her work to be presented in recent years.

Ataman: KUTLUGATAMAN. Long Streams

Author: Gade, Rune & Laura Hoptman
Year: 2002
Country or State of Origin: Denmark

This is the first time that so many of Ataman’s works are exhibited together. Atman was born in Turkey and now lives in London. He concentrates on the question of identity, the construction of the subject. The “long streams”, from which this exhibition takes place, have manifested themselves from Ataman’s very first work in the genre of visual art, i.e., in his almost eight-hour-long film, in which the more than 90-year-old Turkish opera singer, Semiha Berksoy, recalls and re-enacts scenes from her life, which spans the whole of Turkey’s modern history.

ÅHLBERG, GUDRUN.

Author: Jan Linder
Year: 1993
Country or State of Origin: Sweden

Here are the collages and paintings of contemporary surrealist artist Gudrun Åhlberg. Included are her renowned “feminine landscapes,” fragments of female bodies juxtaposed with bits of natural landscapes. Also illustrated is another technique that blends cut-out color pictures on magazine paper with decalomanias, a technique similar to that used by Max Ernst. Her work is at once poetic and full of horror, depicting the precarious situtation of mankind.
