Olav Strømme - Retrospective    
June 5 - September 19, 2010    

Olav Strømme (1909-1978) belonged to the rather limited avantgarde group of Norwegian painters during the 1930's. Rolf Nesch, and for a short while Kurt Schwitters inspired these artists to perform formal and expressive experimentations. Rolf Stenersen was one who discovered the talented Strømme. That is why the Stenersen Collection has got several of the key works from his earlier career. The exhibition is extended with substantial loans from his entire ouvre.
