In February 2014, the book Samlingen Göteborgs konstmuseum was published with the support of the Torsten Söderberg Foundation. The book, which comprises 497 pages with 350 color illustrations, presents the museum's collections in an appealing design. Popular science essays are interspersed with shorter texts to present the latest research on the collection in an accessible form. The museum now wants to publish an English-language version of the book entitled The Collection. Gothenburg Museum of Art.
The Gothenburg Museum of Art has previously lacked an up-to-date overview of its internationally sought-after collections. The museum therefore wanted to create a book that would serve as both a catalog of a selection of works and a popular science presentation of the collection. An English-language book on the collection is particularly needed.
A previous project to create an online catalog of the collection has provided the basis for the book. The texts in the book have been produced by museum staff in collaboration with the research department. Project management and editing took place at the museum.
