Author: Kerstin Lind Bonnier, Peter Galassi (eds.)
This generously illustrated volume presents the first English-language anthology of writings from Swedish art critic and museum director Ulf Linde, who played a key role in the early years of Moderna Museet. The book compiles Linde's most rigourous and illuminating essays: studies of Swedish painters and other modern masters such as Picasso, Matisse, Picabia and Giacometti, as well as a bevy of theoretical texts including his ambitious final essay on the art of drawing. In 1961, Linde facilitated a major coup on behalf of Moderna Museet, producing the first replica of Marcel Duchamp’s Large Glass, approved and signed by the artist himself. While Linde was a major voice in Sweden for over six decades, he is little known outside of Scandinavia - this volume seeks to recitify this oversight. Featuring an introduction by Olle Granath, also a former director of Moderna Museet.
ISBN 9783753300092. Walther Koenig. hb. 352 pages. 170 ills. 25 x 20 cm.
