The exhibition EMERGENCES. Vilhelm Hammershøi, Valdemar Schønheyder Møller and Photography is about Vilhelm Hammershøi?s keen interest in photography, which he developed in close collaboration with friend and fellow artist Valdemar Schønheyder Møller. Hammershøi was fascinated with photography as a visual and aesthetic mode of expression, as a collector?s item and as an artistic tool, and he would himself take photographs while travelling and at home.00Focusing on selected themes, the exhibition explores how photography became crucial to the development of Hammershøi?s painting. In the mid-1880s, Vilhelm Hammershøi painted intimate close-up portraits of his sister Anna in a process of ongoing interaction with Valdemar Schønheyder Møller?s photographs of her. He used photography as a tool and to help capture his fiancée in a large portrait of Ida Ilsted from 1890. Similarly, he would cultivate photography's contrasts between light and dark in several works throughout his artistic career. (12.04.-22.08.2021)
