Despite his extensive output and strong public presence, he remains relatively unknown, making this retrospective volume an important contribution to highlighting his distinctive visual world and his substantial work in both painting and public art commissions.
The book will be available for purchase at a special price during the talk.
About the book Pär Andersson (Retrospective)
Pär Andersson (Retrospective) is the first major compilation of Pär Andersson’s life and artistic practice. The book presents more than 240 images and portrays a multifaceted body of work ranging from stained-glass pieces and church interiors to murals and public artworks. Through newly commissioned texts, historical material, and personal reflections, it highlights an artist whose works have long been present in the public realm but whose name has rarely received the attention it deserves.
