There is a marked international interest in Vilhelm Hammershøi. At a Sotheby auction in 2015, the painting “Interiør Strandgade 30” sold for DKK 21.3 million. This is the highest price so far for a Danish painting.The book reproduces over 500 paintings, drawings, photographs, sketches, clippings, postcards and letters, which together provide a biographical, art-historical, cultural-historical look at Hammershøi and his work.The places were of great importance to Hammershøi, and he always chose very consciously where he should live - preferably in older houses. The home was his studio and often his favorite motif. The book visits many of the places where Hammershøi lived: Frederiksberg, Christianshavn, Falster, Paris, Gentofte, Refsnæs, Holland, Belgium, London and Rome.In the biographical section of the book, important people and focal points for his life and work are highlighted: the mother Frederikke Hammershøi, the sister Anna Hammershøi, the teacher P.S. Krøyer, his colleague Valdemar Schønheyder Møller, his wife Ida Hammershøi, his brother Svend Hammershøi.

Catalogue for the J.F. Willumsen (1863-1958) museum of the same name. This great colorist was part of a group of artists in Brittany including Gauguin painting among other subjects the Breton women with their characteristic white head dress.

This richly illustrated catalogue was published along with a 2006 spring exhibition at Skagen’s Museum, showing 60 works by the Swedish painter Anders Zorn (1860-1920). The exhibition is the result of a unique collaboration between the Zorn museum in Mora and Skagen’s Museum. The exhibition focuses on some of Zorn’s most well-known paintings as well as a broad selection of his watercolours with motifs from his native home, but the show also includes a number of works from his many trips abroad. Zorn worked with watercolour all his life and, together with the Swedish painter Carl Larsson, is one of Sweden’s most outstanding artists in this field.
