en vogue

Se this simple film which we've edited to market artist Ulrik Samuelson's large installation en vogue/Sista skriket!/Relikt, to be sold at the auction Contemporary at Stockholms Auktionsverk 15 November. This 10x3 meter piece was first shown at the groundbreaking Alternative Suedoise/Svenskt Alternativ exhibition at Stockholm's Moderna Museet in 1970, when the museum was still headed by its legendary founding director Pontus Hultén — an exhibition where Samuelson exhibited together with contemporary colleagues Dick Bengtsson, Ola Billgren, Lars Englund, John-e Frantzén, Lars Hillersberg, Olle Kåks and Einar Röste. The exhibition then traveled to Musée d'Arte Moderne in Paris and Louisiana in Humlebaek in Denmark. The piece were shown again in modified form in Samuelson's retrospective Second Hand at Moderna Museet in 1998, and, most recently, in the exhibiton Drömrummet (The Dream Room) at Liljevalch art hall this past spring and summer, now under the title Relikt.
