Last chance, exhibitions you can’t miss!
13/08/2023Summer is coming to an end, and so are some of the exhibitions here at Royal Djurgården. But there is still some time left to discover them before they close. Below you will find tips on summer exhibitions that you can’t miss!
Still Nature. Oskar Bergman
Detailed, atmospheric landscape paintings of mainly Swedish nature and Swedish cities in bright colors and shimmering light are characteristic of Oskar Bergman. The exhibition is on display at Thiel Gallery until August 20.
Women Pioneers – Visionary Landscapes
This summer’s major exhibition at Prins Eugen’s Waldemarsudde presents artworks of four women pioneers and visionaries of landscape painting, whose works from around the turn of the century 1900 are featured.
The art historical writing of the past regarding landscape painting from this period has mainly focused on works by male artists. In this exhibition the perception of Swedish landscape art from around 1900 has been broadened and deepened, at the same time as a number of distinguished, but seldom exhibited, women artists have emerged from the shadows and are here seen in their own right. The exhibition is on display at Prins Eugen’s Waldemarsudde until August 20.
Brave Wine
A photo exhibition about Ukrainian winemakers during a burning war. The exhibition shows personal stories from within the Ukrainian wine industry and describes the everyday life of winemakers with setbacks and challenges, since the war broke out. The exhibition is shown along the water outside of Spritmuseum until August 24.
Karin Broos, Black sun
Karin Broos is one of Sweden’s most prominent painters. Her artwork includes few but meaningful motifs, including standing and sitting figures at a bathing jetty. Naps in beds and sofas. Women and children in front of the bathroom mirror.
Black Sun is a symbol of her greatness and is characterized as the most comprehensive exhibition to date and includes works never before shown to the public. The exhibition is on display until August 27 at Liljevalchs.
Come to Norden
For the first time, nearly 130 unique and colorful travel posters from all five Nordic countries have been collected and shown in an exhibition at the Nordiska museet. Join a visual dream journey through the Nordic countries of travel posters!
The poster exhibition Come to Norden shows how the Nordic countries placed themselves on the tourist map with slow chugging along magnificent fjords, wholesome outdoor life in exotic mountain scenery, and night trains to the rip-roaring amusements of Copenhagen. The historical posters from 1890-1960 mirror the new phenomenon of the early 20th century – leisure time – and the dream of traveling. The exhibition is on display until August 31.
IKONER, photographs by Larsåke Thuresson
The exhibition that welcomes you into Larsåke Thuresson’s photographic world, with around 200 works tells about a musical history that feels very close yet far away. The result is an exhibition about artists who have been, and still are, icons for several generations. The exhibition is on display until September 3 at Liljevalchs+.
Barbro Östlihn. New York Imprint
The exhibition is the first since 1983 to show Östlihn’s paintings in a large-scale exhibition. The intensity of the city life, the art life and in the studios there became decisive for the design of her unique painting throughout her career as an artist. Which resulted in her being considered today as one of the most interesting artists in post-war painting. See her works at Liljevalchs+ until September 3.
Leisure boats for all!
Follow along on a nostalgic journey through the Swedish family-lifestyle and see their boats go from an exclusive luxury to a wide folk-hobby. Today every third Swede spends a big amount of their summers on a holiday boat but in the beginning 1900s, only a rare few were able to afford their own boat.
The exhibition is in the collaboration with the Swedish Cruising Association, which is now celebrating 100 years. The association and the boat cultures growth go hand in hand. The exhibition is on display until September 3 at the Maritime Museum.
REDISCOVER
In 2022, Spritmuseum celebrates ten years at Royal Djurgården. They are celebrating this by allowing a younger generation of art educators working at Spritmuseum to pick out their favourites from the Absolut Art Collection. The result is REDISCOVER, an exhibition which fills the room floor to ceiling with almost 90 artworks. The exhibition is on display until September 24.
The arena – Tore A Jonasson’s collection
The arena is the place for public events, sporting as well as cultural and political. In the fourth exhibition with Tore A Jonasson’s collection, some artists portray the scene itself, the arena, while others refer to more metaphorical scenes for existential, personal and poetic stories. The exhibition is on display until September 24 at Konsthall 16 at the National Sports Museum.
