After the Masters on view at Sogn og Fjordane Art Museum
The series After the Masters was acquired by SFKM with extraordinary money from the Ministry of Culture, due to the Covid-19-pandemic.
The exhibition Dei ekstraordinære (The Extraordinary) will be on view from 4th February - 31st July 2022, and is curated by Ingrid Norum.
In 2020–2021, Sogn og Fjordane Art Museum (SFKM) received 5 million Norwegian kroner from the Ministry of Culture, due to the Covid-19-pandemic. The endowment was given in extraordinary grants for art purchases. This corresponds to roughly 17 years of ordinary purchasing budgets for the museum. SFKM was supported to stimulate artistic activity among Norwegian artists and to maintain the business of the galleries during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The funds have been designated the purchase of art by contemporary artists living in Norway. This endowment has given SFKM a rare opportunity to develop the collection. The museum’s main goal has been to reflect the diversity of artists in Norway. The chosen artworks promote a broad representation and highlight less visible stories in society.
