Summer exhibition 2021 at Gripsholm Castle: 23 Swedish migrants (17th century up until today) .
Text (Denna text kommer visas under rubriken för webbturen):
Common to all these migrants is that they have played decisive roles and made active contributions to Sweden’s development. Their fates are varied, there is societal breadth and cultural diversity. The migrants represent Swedish history from the Great Power Era in the 17th Century to the democratic society of the 21st century. Queens and servants are found here; a majority are renowned in the arts and culture – artists, singers and authors. Some names are surprising, because they are now so naturally associated with Sweden. There is also a serious tone that reflects the horrors of the 20th century – forced migration and survivors of the Holocaust.

Artist: David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl
Title: David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl (1628–1698) Self-Portrait, 1690
Description:
David Klöcker served as secretary to the Swedish delegation during the peace negotiations after the Thirty Years’ War. He arrived in Sweden thanks to Carl Gustav Wrangel, advancing to court painter and being elevated to the nobility, gaining the name of Ehrenstrahl. His substantial studio also functioned as a school for a generation of Swedish artists. This portrait is from the latter part of his career and radiates an awareness of his societal standing.

Title: Hedvig Eleonora (1736-1715), Princess of Holstein-Gottorp, Queen of Sweden
Description:
Royal marriages were one element of the political and diplomatic game. Sweden and the north German dukedom of Gottorp had shared interests that concerned Denmark. Aged 18, Hedvig Eleonora was married off to the Swedish king, Karl X Gustav, who died barely six years later. The dowager queen was involved in building construction and the arts, and Ehrenstrahl was among the people she commissioned. Gripsholm was included in Hedvig Eleonora’s life estate, as her residence and financial security.

Title: Lovisa Ulrika (1720–1782), Queen of Sweden
Description:
In the summer of 1779, several busts of Gustav III and other members of the royal family were among the first things Sergel started on his return to Sweden. Over a year later, when the sculptor summarised his work on these portraits, he said: “I hope that there will be an end to these busts, unless it also necessary to sculpt the queen dowager”. And it was: this portrait mask was cut from the clay model for the plaster bust.

Title: Maria Ricci, m. Plagemann
Description:
In the portrait, Maria Plagemann, née Ricci, is sitting in a box at the theatre – a space in public life which a woman from the middle classes could also access. Maria Ricci met Swedish artist Carl Gustaf Plagemann during his long stay in Italy. Her family did not appreciate the idea of a protestant husband from the remote north, so the couple were practically forced to elope in order to marry. The painting was created in Sweden by Emma Ekwall

Title: John Panzio Tockson (Toxon) (1838-1888), footman to Karl XV
Description:
John Panzio Tockson’s background is mysterious, but he was almost definitely born in Africa, possibly on Madagascar. One rumour says that Tockson was sold into slavery, but managed to escape and reach Gothenburg. In around 1860 he arrived at the court of King Karl XV, becoming his personal valet and responsible for the king’s dogs and saddle horses. Dardel has depicted Tockson in his role of stableman, dressed in a bolero-like jacket, breeches and a red fez.

Artist: Peter Weiss
Title: Self-portrait, 1938
Description:
Works such as The Investigation (1965) and The Aesthetics of Resistance (1975-81) made Peter Weiss one of the leading German-language authors of the 20th century. He was also an artist and filmmaker. Like so many other central European intellectuals with Jewish roots, he was forced to emigrate in the 1930s. This self-portrait from 1938 has a surreal tone; the blue balloon, freely moving upward, contrasts with the gloomy tracks and walls.

Photographer Hans Hammarskiöld has created a contemplative portrait, in which the focus is on the lighting of the pipe.

Description:
Turistens klagan (The tourist’s lament) has a given place in Swedish musical history. It was written by Cornelis Vreeswijk in 1978, uncomplicatedly combining traditional Scandinavian folksong with blues, chanson and samba. The Vreeswijk family moved from the Netherlands to Sweden in 1949 and, when the others returned, Cornelis chose to stay. Photographer Hans Gedda has rejected the standard image of the troubadour, instead producing a reflective and thoughtful portrait.

Title: Domenico Inganni (1903-1988), Sculptor, Stucco-artist
Description:
Italy is famous for its skilled stucco masons. These specialist craftsmen have had commissions in Sweden ever since the reign of Johan III. A more recent craftsman, Domenico Inganni, moved to Sweden aged fifteen, in 1918. In addition to work in stucco, he also sculpted in other materials. Dawid’s portrait shows the meeting between the worn hand of the artist and the hands in one of his works. The subject of the relief is the Madonna and child, a reference to his birth country of Italy.

Description:
Hédi Fried was born in Transylvania and arrived in Sweden in 1945. Her books are testimony to the horrors of the Holocaust and life after the trauma of Auschwitz. Hédi Fried has assumed the role of the one who remembers for those who come after: “If it [the Holocaust] is not remembered, then they [those who were murdered] never lived.” Photographer Sanna Sjöswärd has subtly interpreted something for which we do not have words.
