More information

Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd, nu åter igen aktuell på Moderna Museet, var en absolut centralfigur i svensk och internationell efterkrigskonst. Endast Fahlström torde ha en större betydelse på den globala arenan och ingen annan svensk torde ha haft samma internationella kontaktnät som Reuterswärd, från konstnärer som Duchamp till kritiker som Susan Sonntag. Beläst, intellektuell, verbal, skojfrisk och virtuos skapade han sina viktigaste verk i början av 60-talet. Spel indikativa om slumpens skördar, cigarrer i olika format och användandet av repetitiva bildelement före Warhol tillkommer 1961-63. Därefter tar han sin berömda semester under vilken han experimenterar med laser över Paris hustak. Senare skapar han olika identiteter, Kilroy och konsthandlaren Pratt-Müller är bara några av de mer kända. CFR skapar ny alltid virtuos konst ända till katastrofen som förlamar han målarhand. Dock ger han aldrig upp utan lär sig teckna på nytt, nu med andra handen vilken styrs av andra hjärnhalvan och därför leder till en ny bildvärld.

I denna målning återkommer rymdtemat, en blå bakgrund framhäver de bollar som rör sig i en evighetsslinga runt duken.

More about Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd

Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd (1934-2016), is a Swedish painter and sculptor who lives in Switzerland. He studied with Fernand Léger in Paris 1951-1952 and was a professor of painting at The Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm 1965-1969. He lived in Bussigny/Laussane and Paris. In 1974 he was a guest professor at Minneapolis School of Art, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Reuterswärd is known for his sculpture showing a revolver tied in a knot, called Non Violence, on display outside United Nations headquarters in New York.

One of the first established artists to use the hologram technique was Bruce Nauman who recorded a well-known series of pulsed-laser transmission holograms entitled Making Faces in 1968. His holograms were exhibited at the Castelli Gallery in New York. Another famous artist was Salvador Dalí who made holograms at McDonnell Douglas holographic labs in the USA and exhibited in New York at the Knoedler Gallery. Harriet Casdin-Silver in the USA and Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd in Sweden are two other established artists who were attracted to lasers and holography and created early holographic art pieces in the late 60’s and early 70’s. Reuterswärd’s early work, including laser and holography art pieces, is described in the book:

25 YEARS IN THE BRANCH, Benteli Verlag Berne, Switzerland, 1977. ISBN 91-7100-125-5.
