Centered on the emblematic figure of Pontus Hultén (1924–2006), this issue of Revue Faire explores the director’s publishing work during his time at the head of the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, from 1960 to 1973.
Director and founder of a number of institutions, including the Moderna Museet and the Centre Pompidou, Pontus Hultén published books throughout his career. Beginning in the 1960s when he was appointed director of Sweden’s first museum of modern art, he fully embraced the challenge of the exhibition catalog, even becoming involved in its design.
