Coming exhibitions

A retrospective exhibition on the artist couple Robert and Barbro Nilsson. Barbro Nilsson (1899–1983), who grew up on Lidingö, was a pioneering textile artist with international influence, artistic director at AB Märta Måås-Fjetterström (AB MMF), and daughter of the landscape architect Emma Lundberg. Robert Nilsson (1894–1980), who grew up in Höganäs, was a sculptor and a student of Carl Milles. During his active years he was a central figure in Swedish artistic life, but is today somewhat overlooked. In addition to the collaboration between the Nilssons themselves, both worked with students, painters, and architects, among them Sven X:et Erixson and architect Sigurd Lewerentz. The exhibition is based on a unique body of preserved material that was shown in the summer of 2024 at Blå Hallen in Höganäs.
