Introduction
Charlotte Gyllenhammar
Charlotte Gyllenhammar’s (1963, Gothenburg) work explores power, vulnerability, and identity. Her breakthrough came in 1993 with the installation Dö för dig (Die for you) – a large oak tree hung upside down on Drottninggatan in central Stockholm. Since then, Gyllenhammar has produced work in several disciplines, including video, photography, and installation, but has truly excelled in the sculptural medium. She often revisits the same characters and motifs in her work, especially the child clad in a protective armour of overalls or the woman weighed down by layers of skirts and furs. While investigating deeply intimate themes, Gyllenhammar will often, as with her debut, literally turn these on their heads to force a new perspective onto the viewer.
Gyllenhammar studied at the Royal College of Art, London, and the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. Her public commissions include the memorial to Raoul Wallenberg in Gothenburg, the sculpture Meteorite in Lund, the works &child and Mother in Malmö, and the monument to Dag Hammarskjöld in Uppsala. In 2022, she will present a solo exhibition at Waldemarsudde and in 2023 she was chosen by the Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation as the first Swedish artist to unveil a public sculpture.
