Stavanger art museum has received a gift by Trond Mohn consisting of 67 international works of art. Several of the artists in the collection were born in the 1980s and represent a generation of recently established artists who capture the trends of their time. The collection is built around a principle of including one work by each artist. In terms of artistic media, the collection spans a wide range, including paintings, sculptures, installations, video works, textiles and photography.
Only a small percentage of the artists are in Stavanger Art Museum's collection already, yet this collection relates in a very interesting way to the museum's existing collections. Trond Mohn's gift to Stavanger gives the museum many strong and interesting works of art which we look forward to showing and which the museum looks forward to working with in the years to come.
The collection contains artworks by Alexander Carver, Ambera Wellmann, Andreas Hamran Færø, Andrew Mealor, Arna Óttarsdóttir, Arvid Pettersen, Ben Burgis & Ksenia Pedan, Bjørn-Sigurd Tufta, Chelsea Culprit, Corey Whyte, Dag Erik Elgin, David Douard, Dickon Drury, Else Leirvik, Endre Opheim, Evgeny Antufiev, Farah Al Qasimi, Florian Neufeldt, Gabriele Beveridge, GCC, Hamish Fulton, Ignasi Aballí, Ilija Wyller, Im Heung-Soon, Jala Wahid, Jesse Darling, Jimmie Durham, Johannes Wald, John Zurier, Jone Kvie, Julian Fickler, Katja Novitskova, Kjersti Foyn, Lene Baadsvig Ørmen, Linda Soh Trengereid, Liv Ertzeid, Marlena Kudlicka, Martin Sæther, Matthew Quentin Midtskau, Michael E.
