City dwellings: Stockholm seen through the photographers eyes (1845-1980).






City dwellings: Stockholm seen through the photographers eyes (1845-1980). Edited by Leif Wigh. Moderna museet, 2001. 63pp., illustrated throughout, 16,5x22cm.

This exhibition catalogue from the 2001-2002 exhibition at Modern Museum Stockholm shows photographs of Stockholm and its changing city environment from 1845 to 1980. It was the Modern Museum's contribution to 'The Year of Architecture 2001' and Stockholm 750 years Jubilee 2002.

The Modern Museum is currently rehanging their galleries exclusively with photographic art. The chronology in the displays will be the same, but the 20th century will be presented from a partly new perspective. This is happening in three stages, entitled Another Story, and is well-worth a look.
