A milestone in Nordic art history, the forthcoming Catalogue Raisonné of Nikolai Astrup’s oil paintings presents the first comprehensive, critically annotated account of the artist’s oeuvre
The result of fifteen years of research undertaken in collaboration with an international team of scholars, this catalogue raisonné by Dr. Tove Haugsbø presents
the entire body of paintings made by the Norwegian artist Nikolai Astrup (1880–1928).
Tracing Astrup’s visionary engagement with his rural home village, the garden and mystical folklore, the volume interweaves rigorous provenance, exhibition history and archival sources with indepth visual analysis. It documents 329 paintings, most reproduced in colour and accompanied by complete provenance, exhibition history,
and bibliography. Revealing previously overlooked works and refining attributions, the catalogue repositions Astrup as a pivotal figure in early twentieth-century art. Essential for collectors, historians and curators alike, it transforms our understanding of one of Scandinavia’s most original painters.
Distributed for the Kode Bergen Art Museum
Tove Haugsbø is recognised as one of the leading authorities on Nikolai Astrup and the principal scholar behind the Catalogue Raisonné of Astrup’s oil paintings. A researcher and senior curator at Kode Art Museum and Composer Homes, Bergen, her work is grounded in the sustained first-hand study of the artist’s oeuvre. Astrup was the focus of her PhD in Art History at the University of Bergen (2015), which initiated a new critical reading of his work. For the past decade, Haugsbø has led the Astrup Research Centre at Kode, providing the scholarly foundation for this definitive catalogue.
