The flag was painted on top of the hill to mark the dissolution of Norway’s union with Sweden, and after World War II it was repainted, Magnhild informed me. I took farewell and continued driving up Etnedal. OG HØYT I TOPPEN DET NORSKE FLAGG Det var bare så vidt jeg oppdaget flagget, høyt oppe i fjellet i snøbygene og tåka som kom og gikk. Flagget ble malt oppe på knausen i forbindelse med unionsoppløsningen, og etter krigen ble det malt opp i igjen, fortalte Magnhild. Så tok jeg farvel og kjørte oppover Etnedal. Excerpt from the book Glade jul Rune Johansen / Glade jul / Og høyt oppi toppen det norske flagg 19 ART FROM THE ERA with modernism’s breakthrough in both visual arts, architecture and design, the interplay between these different art forms strengthened. Many artists were directly involved in the production of furniture and architects became more concerned with art as an integral part of design. The working partnership between Gunnar S. Gundersen, Grete Prytz Kittelsen and Arne Korsmo should be familiar to many; also how Erling Viksjø, whilst designing the main Government building, enlisted a number of artists in the process. in this exhibition art will form a backdrop, set the mood and take us back in time. Edvard Munch marks the modern breakthrough in Norwegian art history and paved the way for artists who came after World War II. Of these, we have selected a group of artists who in different ways have played a role in the Norwegian design and architectural tradition. Rune Johansen’s photography connects the exhibition to contemporary times and provides a distinctive expression of Norwegian culture. KUNST FRA PERIODEN ved modernismens gjennombrudd i både billedkunst, arkitektur og design, ble samspillet mellom disse ulike kunstformene styrket. Mange billedkunstnere var direkte involvert i møbelproduksjon og arkitektene ble mer opptatt av kunst som en integrert del av arkitekturen. Samarbeidet mellom Gunnar S. Gundersen, Grete Prytz Kittelsen og Arne Korsmo burde være kjent for de fleste, likeledes hvordan Erling Viksjø i f. eks. Regjeringsbyg- get samarbeidet med en rekke kunstnere om utsmykning av bygget. i denne utstillingen er kunsten med på å danne et bakteppe, men også sette stemningen og utfylle tidsbildet. Edvard Munch markerer det moderne gjennombrudd i norsk kunsthistorie og banet veien for kunstnerne som kom til etter Krigen. Av disse har vi valgt ut et knippe kunstnere som alle på ulike måter har spilt en rolle for norsk design- og arkitekturtradisjon. Rune Johansens bilder knytter utstillingen til vår egen tid, samtidig som de gir et særegent uttrykk for det norske. Edvard Munch / Woman Making Love / 1895-1902 21 Anna-Eva Bergman / Horizon - trait d’argent , No 94 / 1970 23 NORWEGIAN DESIGNS HISTORICAL PRESENCE IN THE UNITED STATES when it comes to Scandinavian design, the American aficionado of midcentury design is no doubt familiar with as Hanna Christie Abrahamsen and Cato Mansrud, silver and enamel artists Lie Jørgensen, Harry Sørby and Grete Scandinavian classics like the bentwood stools of Alvar Aalto, the lamps of Poul Henningsen or the vivid textiles of Prytz Kittelsen, and the master jeweler Sigurd Alf Eriksen. Astrid Sampe. But what of the Norwegian icons? What of the enamelwork and jewelry of Grete Prytz Kittelsen, the rosewood furniture of Torbjørn Afdal and the textured pottery of Erik Pløen? While Denmark, Sweden and Finland by october 1957, the popularity of Scandinavia was reaching its peak, and on the occasion of the At Home with have firmly established their designers in the postwar ‘hall of fame’, Norway’s prodigious talents in the design canon Scandinavian Design exhibit at Bloomingdale’s, a New York Times reporter wrote that “the accent at Bloomingdale’s have remained neglected. is so strongly Scandinavian you can almost hear an umlaut.” The department store revamped its fifth floor with displays of Scandinavian design arranged by Henriette Granville-Suhr, and later on by Bloomingdale’s influential the golden age of midcentury modern Norwegian design – between 1950 and 1970 – was a time when designers, tastemaker Barbara D’Arcy.

  • Å Samla Kunst Dei Ervervar Og Ikkje Ervervar Til Samlingane, Og Måten Det Blir Gjort På
    Museum for visuell kunst skil seg frå andre museum ved at dei samlar på kunst frå vår Jorunn Veiteberg eiga tid. Dei er såleis viktige medspelarar i dagens kunstliv, og interessa for korleis dei utøver denne rolla, er stor og til tider støyande. Ikkje minst gjeld det spørsmål rundt kva Å samla kunst dei ervervar og ikkje ervervar til samlingane, og måten det blir gjort på. Samlingsutvikling ved norske kunstmuseum på 2000-talet I denne rapporten blir inntakspraksisen mellom år 2000 og 2016 i 14 kunstmuseum KUNST SAMLA Å i Noreg kartlagt. I tillegg til musea sine eigne prioriteringar tar rapporten opp kva slags kunst musea har fått overført frå Innkjøpsfondet for norsk kunsthåndverk, Sparebankstiftelsen og Kulturrådet si nedlagde innkjøpsordning. Korleis unge Jorunn Veiteberg kunstnarar er representerte, samtidskunsten sin plass og kjønnsfordelinga i samlingane er spørsmål som står sentralt. Rapporten viser også kor lite synleg samlingspraksisen til musea har vore hittil. Museumssamlingane tener som vår felles minnebank. Difor bør det stadig reisast spørsmål ved korleis musea utøver makta dei har som historieskrivarar og minneforvaltarar. I seinare år har private samlarar sett stadig sterkare avtrykk i dei offentlege musea gjennom donasjonar og langtidslån. Eit aktuelt spørsmål er difor om det i dag er desse privatsamlarane som er blitt premissleverandørar for historieskrivinga. ISBN 978-82-7081-191-5 i kommisjon hos Fagbokforlaget ,!7II2H0-ibbjbf! Jorunn Veiteberg (f. 1955) er dr.philos. i kunsthistorie frå Universitetet i Bergen. Ho har arbeidd med samtidskunst både som utstillingsleiar, redaktør og som frilans skribent og kurator. Veiteberg har vore professor II ved Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo og Kunst- og designhøgskolen i Bergen, og sidan 2013 har ho vore gjesteprofessor ved HDK Göteborgs universitet.

After a 12-year career as a model for Eileen Ford, and then as a singer and song-writer, she once again turned her attention to design. She produced clothes for Levi’s and H&M. Since 1996 she has been designing jewellery for her own Efva Attling Stockholm brand. Amor Vincit Omnia is her first collection for Orrefors. EFVA ATTLING Lena Bergström (b. 1961) is a successful designer of both textiles and glass.

  • Scandi Navian Design Catalog
    SCANDI NAVIAN DESIGN CATALOG modernism101 rare design books Years ago—back when I was graphic designing—I did some print advertising work for my friend Daniel Kagay and his business White Wind Woodworking. During our collaboration I was struck by Kagay’s insistent referral to himself as a Cabinet Maker. Hunched over my light table reviewing 35mm slides of his wonderful furniture designs I thought Cabinet Maker the height of quaint modesty and humility. But like I said, that was a long time ago. Looking over the material gathered under the Scandinavian Design um- brella for this catalog I now understand the error of my youthful judgment. The annual exhibitions by The Cabinet-Makers Guild Copenhagen— featured prominently in early issues of Mobilia—helped me understand that Cabinet-Makers don’t necessarily exclude themselves from the high- est echelons of Furniture Design. In fact their fealty to craftsmanship and self-promotion are constants in the history of Scandinavian Design. The four Scandinavian countries, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland all share an attitude towards their Design cultures that are rightly viewed as the absolute apex of crafted excellence and institutional advocacy. From the first issue of Nyt Tidsskrift for Kunstindustri published by The Danish Society of Arts and Crafts in 1928 to MESTERVÆRKER: 100 ÅRS DANSK MØBELSNEDKERI [Danish Art Of Cabinetmaking] from the Danske Kunstindustrimuseum in 2000, Danish Designers and Craftsmen have benefited from an extraordinary collaboration between individuals, manufacturers, institutions, and governments. The countries that host organizations such as The Association of Danish Furniture Manufacturers, The Association of Furniture Dealers in Denmark, The Association of Interior Architects, The Association of Swedish Furni- ture Manufacturers, The Federation of Danish Textile Industries, Svenska Slojdforeningen, The Finnish Association of Designers Ornamo put the rest of the globe on notice that Design is an important cultural force deserv- ing the height of respect.

This was largely the work of John En- tenza, publisher and editor of Arts and Archi- tecture since the late-Thirties, and his editorial assistants, Charles and Ray Eames, with sig- nificant contributions from Eero Saarinen and Buckminster Fuller, among others.
