Art and photography exhibition staged at magnificent Thielska Galleriet art museum in Royal Djurgården park in Stockholm. Large and monumental scale prints of classic Stockholm New images 1993–2013 were presented juxtaposing the museum’s tremendous collection of turn of the twentieth century paintings by artist such as Edvard Munch, Vilhelm Hammershøi, Anders Zorn, Bruno Liljefors, Eugene Jansson, Ernst Josephson, Nils Kreuger, Gustaf Fjaestad, and others.
Contributing photographers: Mikael Jansson, Julia Hetta, Frederik Lieberath, John Akehurst, Sølve Sundsbø, Pelle Bergström, Denise Grünstein, Ewa-Marie Rundquist, Magnus Mårding, Gösta Reiland and Elisabeth Toll. The event also marked the launch of our 496-page Stockholm New book, which doubled as the catalogue for the show. The show was controversial and influential, receiving both splendid reviews and agonizing critisism from the traditional art establishment who found it blasphemic to cross the museum’s famous masterpieces with contemporary fashion photography, long before juxtaposing eras and presenting Parisian displays became first trendy, then normal, now cliché.
