Anna-Eva Bergman (1909–1987) is one of the best-known women’s names in 20th-century Norwegian art. The retrospective at the Berlinische Galerie, covering the years from 1930 until 1970, is the first major exhibition of her work to be staged in Germany. Featuring some 40 paintings and prints, it traces the development of an artist on a resolute quest to establish her own distinctive style.
The exhibition is the result of close collaboration with the Fondation Hartung Bergman in Antibes. Treading in the footsteps of the Verborgenes Museum, the Berlinische Galerie will turn the spotlight on a body of work by a female artist hitherto rarely honoured in Germany.
The exhibition is held under the patronage of Laila Stenseng, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Norway to Germany.
