The Eclectic Collection

The Eclectic Collection was acquired by a Swedish collector who had a genuine interest in art. He was a passionate art lover who, over the years, also curated, guided and studied art. While abstract expressionism and minimalism were particularly close to his heart, he also showed great curiosity about other genres. One of the collector's primary interests lay in art school student exhibitions, where he discovered new art and new talent, which he then supported by purchasing their works, among other things. The collection is eclectic, featuring a creative selection of works in various materials and styles, ranging from Sonja Larsson to Susan Weil and Mårten Medbo. The common thread is the collector's individual taste and the relationships that have influenced his choices. The collection can therefore be regarded as an articulation of both individual preferences and social contexts, with encounters with artists, associates and other collectors playing a pivotal role. Each work bears traces of these contacts and tells not only of an aesthetic stance, but also of the networks and experiences that shaped the collector's view over time.
