The artist, art patron and cultural personage Charlotte Mannheimer (1866-1934) was crucial in establishing modern art in Gothenburg during the 1910s and 1920s. She ran the gallery Ny Konst (New Art), an important platform for disseminating novel art with vibrant colours on Gothenburg’s cultural scene. She supported many of the young artists, and her family home was an important meeting point for many Nordic cultural personages. Even though she played an important role in the public art world, Charlotte Mannheimer has remained anonymous in art history. With this exhibition, the Gothenburg Museum of Art wishes to emphasize Charlotte Mannheimer’s major contribution to the art and culture scene in Gothenburg and in a broader Nordic context.
