Södertälje konsthall invested in bringing in the really big masters of Swedish designs. The exhibition assistant from Södertälje konsthall, who has signed several of the contracts, is named Ingvar Claeson. Deposits are made from the Royal Army Museum, AB Gustavsberg’s factories, the National Museum, the Handicraft Association, etc.

By Märta Måås-Fjetterström was shown Tissue “Unicorn in the forest” hautelisse. Compl. in Vittsjö in 1919 and executed for the first time in 1920. A variety of posters from major exhibitions throughout design history were lent from the National Museum to the exhibition.

Amanuens Ingvar Claeson appears as a colorful person in the art gallery’s correspondence during its early history. Art gallery director / cultural curator Eje Högestätt also names his first two years in the service in his new hometown Södertälje with colorful words. Södertälje konsthall is said to have been perceived as so provocative that he was threatened to death. Long live the handicraft association probably does not belong to the category of exhibitions that have stood out in that way.
