Charlotte Gyllenhammar, born 1963, is a fine artist based in Stockholm, Sweden. She began her career as a painter, but swiftly moved on to sculpture and installation after completing her studies at the Royal College of Art in London. In 1993, she broke through the Swedish art scene when she suspended a 120-year-old tree over Drottninggatan, the main street in the center of Stockholm. The work entitled ''Die for You'' was the first step in a progression of images and environments that invert perspective. For example, confinement and inversion are evident in her video/photographic series of suspended women entitled ''Belle'', 1998, ''Disobedience'', 1998, ''Fall'', 1999, and more recently ''Hang'' 2006. The series ''Hang'' is composed of both color or c-prints and gelatin silver prints. The photographs were first premiered at Paris Photo in 2006, in the Central Exhibition, which was dedicated to the Nordic countries, where Gyllenhammar represented Sweden. Charlotte Gyllenhammar, has in her artistic production, investigated issues such as identity, the boundaries between public and private, captivity, and terrorism. Her oeuvre is characterised by a formalist sensibility and deviating perspectives. Sculptural installations include ''Vertigo'', 2002 at Wånas sculpture park in Sweden. ''Vertigo'' was a large installation where Gyllenhammar created a full-scale subterranean and inverted replica of her studio. Gyllenhammar has since become one of Sweden’s most prominent contemporary artists. A major exhibition of her work entitled ''Private Idiot'' was held at Kulturhuset, in the heart of Stockholm, which later travelled to Dunkers Kulturhus in Helsingborg, Sweden. An accompanying book was published in conjunction with the award winning exhibition. In addition, Gyllenhammar has completed a series of important public works such as the ''Raoul Wallenberg Memorial'', 2007 in Gothenburg, Sweden. Her installation ''Wait, the smallest of us is dead'' has been exhibited at Glasstress, a collateral event of 2011 Venice Biennale. Her work is featured in several significant collections including the Moderna Museet, Sweden; the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C., United States; and Kiasma, Finland. Charlotte Gyllenhammar is the daughter of Pehr G. Gyllenhammar. ==External links== * (Charlotte Gyllenhammar website ) * (Listing on Photography Now ) * (Wanås Sculpture Park ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charlotte Gyllenhammar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
