Moderna Museet's New Exhibition Revisits Post-War Swedish Art

Moderna Museet in Stockholm has opened a new collection exhibition titled “Will You Be Profitable, Little Friend?”, borrowing its name from Peter Tillberg's iconic 1972 painting. The show presents around one hundred artworks created between 1945 and 1979, many of which have been central to the museum's exhibition history since its opening in 1958. For long-time visitors, it offers a chance to revisit familiar pieces, while younger audiences can discover them for the first time. The exhibition underscores the museum's strong holdings in post-war Swedish art, highlighting the diversity of artistic expressions and moods during a period of rapid societal change in Sweden and globally. Featured artists include Carl Johan De Geer, Siri Derkert, Öyvind Fahlström, Staffan Hallström, and Åke Karlung, among others. The exhibition is on view at Moderna Museet, with details on closing dates not specified in the source.
