The first of four publications chronicling a display of artist selections from Oslo’s Christen Sveaas Art Foundation at Whitechapel Gallery, Norwegian artist Ida Ekblad selects works of 19th & 20th century Norwegian and international art, including work by Nikolai Astrup, Lynda Benglis, Louise Bourgeois, Theaster Gates, Thorvald Hellesen, Howard Hodgkin, Ilya Kabokov, Edvard Munch, Ed Ruscha and Rosemarie Trockel on the theme of the night.
This accompanying catalogue includes a written response by Ida Ekblad to W. H. Auden’s poem ‘Night Mail’, plus a new interview with the artist, full-colour plates of all selected works and installation photography of the display.
