More information
Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd är en av de första i Sverige som allvarligt intresserade sig för Marcel Duchamp. Att leka med ord och att utföra konstverk där ordlekarna blir dubbeltydiga samt manar till eftertanke har CFR gemensamt med Duchamp och han är möjligen den förste svensk som genomför detta på ett strukturerat vis allt sedan genombrottet vid 50-talets slut och det tidiga 60-talet. Det aktuella verket förekommer i flera versioner och finns bland annat i MoMAs samlingar i 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:
