Stockholm’s Moderna Museet purchased works by 169 Swedish artists in 2021 as part of a political initiative aimed at supporting the Swedish art sector. By bringing such works into state collections, both Swedish citizens and visitors from abroad gain access to a diverse body of homegrown talent. This publication presents these many acquisitions and includes introductions of the artists alongside the works themselves. Through this acquisition effort by the Swedish government, Moderna Museet received a substantial boost that will mark the evolution of its collection for a long time to come. After all, a collection never stands still – especially not in times of crisis.
