Help us map out Vera Nilsson’s production

Moderna Museet has a rich collection of works by the artist Vera Nilsson (1888–1979). The collection spans her entire more than seventy-year career, and contains more than 4,800 objects: sketches, drawings and paintings.

In the research project, we examine how Vera Nilsson worked with drawing as a way of collecting and preserving various impressions from her immediate surroundings. By following her work process from sketch to monumental work, we can take part in how the drawings functioned both as a memory and as independent stories.

Contact us if you have drawings, sketches, paintings, photographs or other archival material connected to the artist. The research project runs from 2024 to 2026. In 2027, Moderna Museet will present Vera Nilsson’s oeuvre in a large exhibition.
