Pink Sails (Rosa segel)
Swedish Modernism in the Moderna Museet collection
Stockholm, 17.6 2023 – 3.8 2025
The exhibition Pink Sails highlights some of the imagery and styles that existed side by side in an era of major social change.
Sweden was rapidly transforming from an agrarian society to an industrial nation – social reform and optimism about the future mixed with military armament and fears of an imminent world war. Pink Sails features selected works from the four first decades of the 20th century and the multifaceted field of art that is now known as Swedish modernism.
“Pink Sails – Swedish Modernism in the Moderna Museet Collection” is the second instalment in the Museum’s new themed presentations of its collection. The curator Matilda Olof-Ors borrowed the title from Ragnar Sandberg’s twilight scene Pink Sails from 1934.In the exhibition, visitors will meet some 100 works by Anna Casparsson, Siri Derkert, Sven X-et Erixson, Isaac Grünewald, Sigrid Hjertén, Bror Hjorth, Hilding Linnqvist, Vera Nilsson, Ragnar Sandberg, Otte Sköld and many other artists.
