“Pontus Hultén and Moderna Museet. From Stockholm to Paris” (2023) is the second book produced by the project and addresses the later period of Pontus Hultén’s time at Moderna Museet, from the mid-1960s to 1973. It also looks at a few of the projects he worked on after leaving Moderna Museet, which are richly represented in Pontus Hultén’s archive.

The preface by Gitte Ørskou is followed by a longer introduction highlighting the exhibitions “Andy Warhol” (1968), “Bernd and Hilla Becher” (1970), the presentations of Joseph Beuys and Günter Uecker (1971), and “Utopias and Visions 1871–1981” (1971). The ensuing chapters discuss the exhibitions “SHE – A Cathedral“(1966) at Moderna Museet in Stockholm and “The Machine as Seen at the End of the Mechanical Age”, which Pontus Hultén produced in 1968 for the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The books in Pontus Hultén’s library are analysed, and the final essay deals with the art school Institut des Hautes Études en Arts Plastiques (IHEAP) in Paris. An interview with Pontus Hultén from 1971 published in the French art magazine Opus International is also included, in which he reflects on the museum of the future.

Foreword by Gitte Ørskou. Texts by Annika Gunnarsson, Ylva Hillström, Lars Bang Larsen, Yann Pavie and Anna Tellgren.
