It is currently not possible to visit Lars Nor\u00e9n\u2019s Fine Arts Library.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Spring of 2022, Magasin III acquired Lars Nor\u00e9n\u2019s private library of fine art books directly from the playwright\u2019s family. The collection contains 247 volumes including publications on art, architecture, design, and the performing arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nor\u00e9n\u2019s Fine Arts Library will be available in our reference library. Here, an inquisitive public and future researchers can experience the intentions and impulses that once inspired Nor\u00e9n\u2019s authorial achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on behalf of the family, I would like to express our joy in the fact that hundreds of art books that inspired Lars in his artistry are now available through Magasin III. We know that Lars valued the work that Magasin III has undertaken for the sake of the arts. So it is particularly gratifying that the collection is now housed there. We expect that Lars\u2019 art books will both delight and inspire many others.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ex Libris by Gunnel W\u00e5hlstrand<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an homage to Lars Nor\u00e9n, Magasin III has designed an ex libris for his collection of art books. Its design is extracted from a motif by artist Gunnel W\u00e5hlstrand, specially created for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nor\u00e9n and W\u00e5hlstrand crossed paths in 2017, in connection with W\u00e5hlstrand\u2019s solo exhibition at Magasin III that year. Lars Nor\u00e9n wrote an equally thought-provoking and insightful essay for the exhibition catalog. In personal, preparatory conversations with curator David Neuman, Nor\u00e9n expressed his fascination with and fervor for W\u00e5hlstrand\u2019s visual world, and not least the importance of visual art for his own creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening this library to the general public means sharing one facet of the material that Lars Nor\u00e9n tapped into in his private life, a wonderful treasure of great cultural value. One is bowled over, while leafing through it, by his interests and preferences. The idea behind this art library reflects Lars\u2019 own wishes not to hide anything, but to grant access to anyone interested in learning more about the visual arts or discovering a novel side of a unique and significant playwright.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In connection with the opening of Lars Nor\u00e9n\u2019s art library, we are exhibiting graphic works of Gunnel W\u00e5hlstrand in our reference library. All these works are from Magasin III\u2019s collection, except for the painting whose motif served as a model of the bookplate, which belongs to the artist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lars Nor\u00e9n<\/strong> (1944\u20132021) is among one of the most played contemporary playwrights in Europe and larger parts of the world. He was also a novelist, poet, and director, having directed both his own and others\u2019 plays. His plays often explore relationships within families. In 2003 he received the Nordic Prize and in 2013 the Bellman Prize, both from the Swedish Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lars Nor\u00e9n passed away during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, 76 years old.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
