Dick Bengtsson
January 21 April 30 2006
With his enigmatic paintings Dick Bengtsson (1928 1989) has fascinated and troubled generations of audiences ever since the 1960s. 25 years have gone by since Moderna Museet featured his works in a major exhibition in 1983. His works are as intriguing and spell-binding as ever. Together with Öyvind Fahlström, Dick Bengtsson is one of the few artists of his generation who have ventured onto the international art scene in recent years.
Curator: Mårten Castenfors (free lance)
