In connection with Prince Eugen's Waldemarsudde organizing a major anniversary exhibition to mark the 150th anniversary of Prince Eugen's birth, a magnificent and comprehensive book on Prince Eugen's art and life will be produced.
Prince Eugene (1865-1947) was one of the foremost landscape painters of his generation and an important art collector, patron and cultural politician. The book, which will include new research and numerous articles by expert writers, will describe Prince Eugen's political activities and his active opposition to Nazism during the Second World War, as well as his relations with the writer Verner von Heidenstam, the musicians and composers Wilhelm Stenhammar and Tor Aulin, and his collaboration with the architect Ferdinand Boberg. Articles on the landscape painter, patron, art collector and person of Prince Eugen will also be published. Waldemarsudde's park and garden will also receive a chapter in the book.
The book will be published in collaboration with Bokförlaget Atlantis.
