Dandelion
"This richly illustrated book was published in conjunction with acclaimed artist Cecilia Edefalk's comprehensive solo exhibition at Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde in the fall of 2016. Maskros / Dandelion is the first retrospective of Edefalk's idiosyncratic and deeply personal body of work since 1999. It revolves around subjects such as time, memory, the spiritual, transcience, and rebirth. A number of eminent writers from Sweden and Germany have contributed with lyrical and thought-provoking reflections on Cecilia Edefalk's œvre, focusing on the paintings, sculptures, and photographs from the late seventies up to today that are included in the exhibition"--Back cover.

Displaying the Ideals of Antiquity
Displaying the Ideals of Antiquity investigates the study and display of ancient sculpture from archaeological, art historical, and museum studies perspectives. Ancient sculptures not only give us knowledge about ancient Greek and Roman pasts, but they also mediate ideals that inform modern perceptions of antiquity. This book analyzes how an art historical tradition establishes and preserves an idealized view of antiquity in classical archaeology and in museum exhibitions. The authors investigate how these ideals are kept alive today—an approach that often is neglected in studies on ancient reception.This book offers an international scope and illustrates how academic conceptual foundations influence museum exhibitions.This timely volume discusses contemporary museum exhibitions of ancient sculpture and clarifies how old discourses continue to affect museum exhibitions and conceptualizations of ancient sculptures. The authors analyze close to 100 museums around the world, and demonstrate the ways in which ancient sculptures are mediated across Europe and the West.
The Intellectual Conscience of Art
At the core of this issue is the question of the concept of art. Could the task of art be transfered to philosophy, as Arthur Danto maintains? Or is there still a moral assignment for art inherent to Modernism? Various artists and theorists will respond to these questions in this issue. Among them are: J.C. Ammann, Victor Burqin, Don Cameron, Arthur Danto, Catherine David, Chris Dercon, Marlene Dumas, Jan Hoet, Joseph Kosuth, Donald Kuspit, Pieter Laurens Mol, Maarten van Nierop, A.B. Oliva, Frank Reynders and Haim Steinbach.
Autumn Killing
“The latest hot Swedish import.”—Entertainment Weekly “One of those books that will keep you up throughout the night...Make room on your shelf—and calendar—for this one.”—Bookreporter.com Police superintendent Malin Fors returns in this chilling third novel from the critically acclaimed author of Midwinter Blood, the first in the series and “a splendid representative of the Swedish crime novel, in all its elegance and eeriness” (Booklist, starred review). Autumn rains are pouring down on the Swedish countryside, but it’s the discovery of a brutally stabbed body floating facedown in the moat of Skogså Castle that chills one town to the bone. Jerry Petersson, the castle’s new owner and a notoriously ruthless lawyer and entrepreneur, is now, shall we say, permanently out of business. Meanwhile, Malin Fors, the brilliant but flawed star of the local police force, is already struggling to keep her life together following the recent murder attempt on her teenage daughter, Tove. Now, as the Petersson case forces Malin to delve deep into her town’s history and her own family’s past, the secrets she uncovers threaten to drown her, too.
Fotografi 227 Maanader
Cecilia Edefalk may be best known for her painting, but her work is characterized by a photographer?s eye. When she delves the depths and explores the limits of the medium, the analogue photographic process becomes an investigation into man?s ambivalent nature and how the self relates to the world.0'Photography 227 Months' was created by Cecilia Edefalk in close collaboration with Maja Kölqvist and is unique in that it deals exclusively with her photography. The artist speaks to August Strindberg, Prince Eugen, and a dandelion, while texts by Estelle av Malmborg and Daniel Birnbaum, as well as a conversation between the artist and Anders Johansson shed new light on Edefalks practice.
Contemporary Painting in Context
These essays examine the transformation and expansion of the field of painting in relation to the more general lines of development in culture and visuality. The book is divided into five parts, with each of them pursuing a distinct line of inquiry.
Raw Silk
Alexander's cross-cultural perspective and sense of global identity (gained from her childhood in India and the Sudan, and her adult life in New York City) infuses her poems. She writes about violence and civil strife, love, despair, and a hard-won hope in the midst of a post-September 11 world.
Time and Memory
Published on the occasion of the exhibition: Time and memory: Cecilia Edefalk & Gunnel Weahlstrand, 23 November 2011 - 12 February 2012.
