More information
The chimney is a motif that is constantly recurring in Svenungsson's artistry and has over the years become his hallmark. Series featuring chimneys have been exhibited since the 1990s in the form of installations at several institutions including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and Nylistasafnid/Living Arts Museum in Reykjavik, as well as at Galleri Engström, Stockholm. The Moderna Museet has a similar work in its collections, donated by the art collector Fredrik Roos.
