Movement in Art, Tinguely, De Saint Phalle, Duchamp. Warhol, happenings. As a tribute to one of Moderna Museet’s most colourful directors, and as a parallel version of a revolutionising and exhilarating phase in the museum’s history, we are showing a selection of works from Pontus Hultén’s private collection.

What makes some people seem to have a more finely tuned feeling for what is new, revolutionary and ahead of its time? A well-developed intuition, perhaps, or an inner voice? Another crucial asset is probably that of being open and curious. Having the ability to grasp a historical opportunity, something different, verging on the outrageous. This comes fairly close to describing Pontus Hultén (b 1924), director of Moderna Museet between 1960 and 1973.
