‘Hammershøi is not one of those one need talk about in a rush. His work is long and slow and at whatever moment one turns to it, it will always offer ample reason to talk about the most crucial and fundamental things in art.’
Rainer Maria Rilke, 1905

In his own lifetime he was one of the most celebrated artists in Europe. Thereafter his work descended almost fully into oblivion outside his home country, Denmark. But now, thanks to a comprehensive exhibition in Hamburg, the German public will be able to rediscover the pictures of Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864–1916).

In collaboration with the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen the Hamburger Kunsthalle will be showing over 60 paintings spanning all stages of Hammershøi’s artistic career. A key accent of the exhibition will be Hammershøi’s interior views of his own apartment in Copenhagen. Resembling a non-stop inner monologue he portrays in a few muted tones and with decisive geometrical stringency his sparsely-furnished flat. About these pictures the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung wrote: ‘His doors spit insults, the floorboards remain silent. It’s almost as if painting had departed, leaving the world behind it as an interior.’ Besides this aspect, the exhibition will also include Hammershøi’s deserted city views and landscapes, as well as his enigmatic nudes and portrait paintings.

While Hammershøi’s oeuvre speaks entirely for itself, it nonetheless contains visible references to turn-of-the-century Symbolist art movements that reach far beyond Scandinavia. Accordingly, the Hamburg exhibition will be enhanced by the inclusion of paintings by Hammershøi’s contemporaries such as Ferdinand Hodler, Fernand Khnopff, Edgar Degas, Emil Nolde and Félix Valotton. Within this dramatic context Hammershøi can be witnessed as a major protagonist of the Symbolist movement.

Only in the last few years has Vilhelm Hammershøi’s fascinating oeuvre regained international attention. Both the Musée d’Orsay in Paris and the Guggenheim Museum in New York scored a major audience success with their Hammershøi retrospectives in 1997/1998. Opening on 22 March 2003, the Hamburger Kunsthalle’s exhibition of Vilhelm Hammershøi will offer a German audience the unique chance to rediscover this undeservedly forgotten artist.

The exhibition is under the auspices of
Her Royal Highness Princess Benedikte.

实在没有办法辨别自己喜欢的风格，是孤寂的还是浓艳的。

喜欢物质，喜欢被很多很多的物质包围的感觉。所以在的地方都是乱七八糟的散落着自己搜集的琐碎物品。但是一开始看见那间冷清的屋子，还是强烈的被吸引。试图感觉了一下能否在这样的空间存在。答案是肯定的。

难怪，不时会想象从人间蒸发。呆在只有一个人的地方。简单，安静。做不需要思考的劳动。

找了其他作品，就没有这样的感觉了。
