Conversation in the Collection: Yet Another Morning

In “Yet Another Morning – Drawing in the Moderna Museet Collection”, you will encounter hundreds of works, mainly from the Moderna Museet Collection, by Swedish and international artists who draw. But there are also loans from Nationalmuseum to show transhistorical connections and the relationship between the two museums, for example a self-portrait by Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn from the 17th century.

Hear drawing experts Anders Svensson and Annika Gunnarsson talk about time-transcending perspectives on materials, techniques and artistic expressions. Together, they delve into different time layers and reflect on the origins and common touch-points of their museum collections.

Anders Svensson

Anders Svensson is Assistant Curator at Nationalmuseum and works mainly with prints and drawings. He is educated at the Lund University and has previously worked at the Gothenburg Museum of Art and the Röhsska Museum of Design and Craft as curator.

His latest research focuses on prints and drawings as models for woven wallpapers during the 16th century. Anders Svensson also works as a tour guide for art tours, mainly in Italy.

Annika Gunnarsson

Annika Gunnarsson is Curator and Head of Prints and Drawings at Moderna Museet. She began her career at the Nationalmuseum exhibition room for drawings and prints thirty years ago and has since then mainly worked with paper-based expressions such as drawings, prints, posters, artists’ books, mail art and picture books.

Her latest research is based on the artist Vera Nilsson’s rich sketch material in the Moderna Museet Collection. Previously, she has researched, among other things, the history of Moderna Museet and Gunilla Bergström’s picture books about Alfie Atkins.
