Midsummer is upon us and unlike many other art galleries and restaurants in Stockholm, Artipelag will remain open throughout the entire Midsummer weekend.
Midsummer’s Eve (June 24), Midsummer’s Day (June 25), and Sunday June 26, the Andy Warhol exhibition will be open from 11 am–5 pm.
For those with a desire to quench their thirst and sate their hunger, may we recommended a visit to Bådan Buffet & Café, which will be serving a brunch buffet each day of the Midsummer Weekend.
Artipelag Restaurant will be closed on Midsummer’s Eve, but has regular weekend hours (11.30 am–5 pm) on Midsummer’s Day and Sunday June 26. The same applies to the Artipelag Barbecue (12–4 pm).
On Midsummer’s Day and Sunday June 26, Strömma Kanalbolaget will be operating as usual with boat trips to and from Artipelag. Also available on these days will be our usual return bus transportation option to Stockholm city centre. On Midsummer’s Eve, it is recommended to travel by your own boat, public transport or car.
Happy Midsummer from Artipelag!
Together with our neighbours, Värmdö Brewery, we have developed a beer that is uniquely our own.
Prior to production, we carefully collected spruce shoots in the forests around Artipelag and made a syrup in our own kitchen, which we then added just before the beer’s fermentation stage. The flavour is of an unfiltered lager – or as it is otherwise known – a pilsner.
This limited edition beer is only available here at Artipelag.
New this season is the option for visiting our exhibition with “sling views” – Artipelag’s equivalent to “stroller views”. Every Tuesday at 11.30 am, we will have extra BabyBjörn carriers available to borrow. You will then have the chance to attend a 30-minute guided tour of The Legacy of Andy Warhol exhibition. No additional cost involved – adults will pay for a regular ticket and the loan of a baby carrier is included.
On Saturdays at 3 pm, we have implemented a Family Viewing. This tour is for those who are looking for an environment that is welcoming to small children. The actual content of the show is, however, directed towards adults.
This summer’s big exhibiton – The Legacy of Andy Warhol – is now open! Tuesday through Friday from 11 am to 5 pm. In addition to the exhibition we also arrange a silkscreen workshop.
The exhibition hall is closed up until March 22nd. The upcoming exhibition Bloomsbury Spirit opens on March 23rd, 2018. However, Artipelag Design Shop, Artipelag Restaurant, on the third floor, and Bådan Café & Pâtisserie will be open as usual.
Solar Egg until March 4th
The world famous sauna Solar Egg by Bigert & Bergström for Riksbyggen will be placed on the rocky hills next to the outdoor seating at Bådan Café & Patisserie until March 4th, 2018.
New exhibition series during the rehanging
Jan Håfström (b. 1937), one of Sweden’s most respected artists, will be the first to participate in Artipelag’s exhibition series Studio Visits. Studio Visits is a project that will present new artworks by contemporary artists.
Warmly welcome!
April 2016 marks the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare and on Saturday, April 23rd, Artipelag – with special guests Swedish actress Stina Ekblad and the Uppsala Academic Chamber Choir – will be marking this anniversary with an event in his honour.
Conductor Stefan Parkman and the Uppsala Academic Chamber Choir, paired with Stina Ekblad as narrator, will take the audience on a journey through the world of Shakespeare.

Andy Warhol is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. The myriad exhibitions about him testify to this; last year alone, his works were featured in more than 30 shows globally, and were seen by a broad public all over the world.
Most of these exhibitions are blockbusters, showing a large number of works, and focusing on Warhol’s oeuvre. But Warhol is interesting not only as an artist. His influence stretches far beyond the field of art, as seen in the wide range of Warhol-related events in recent years. Warhol has also been a pioneer in music, fashion, advertising, media, communications and consumption – in short, what is today called lifestyle.
In the exhibition The Legacy of Andy Warhol, our frame of reference is Warhol’s development as an artist, based on his autobiography, Andy Warhol From A to B and Back Again. Warhol found inspiration in daily papers and magazines, which he transformed into commercial products such as advertisements, illustrations and record sleeves. This is where Warhol’s fascination for glamour and commerce began, eventually becoming a central aspect of his entire oeuvre. The exhibition features some 40 of these drawings from the 1950s.
The section with works from the 1960s centres on Warhol’s artistic practice. Warhol made his breakthrough as an artist in 1962 with his now famous paintings of Campbell’s soup cans, but his output from the 1960s also includes pictures of accidents and film stars. The exhibition includes a reconstruction of his studio, The Factory, with its silver foil interior. Here, art was produced on an industrial scale. Warhol challenged the notions of art’s originality and authenticity, leaving his staff to make the art works for him. The Factory was not only a studio but also a social forum, where movies were shot with a cast of disparate people Warhol labelled as “superstars”. Pop music was one of the most important cultural expressions of the 1960s. The Velvet Underground is the rock group that is most closely associated with Andy Warhol and The Factory. It was around their music that Warhol produced his most complex work of art, The Exploding Plastic Inevitable from 1966, a multimedia show that, in addition to music, incorporated Warhol’s films, projections and dance.
The result was a revolutionary physical experience that inspired many other stage shows and music videos. The Exploding Plastic Inevitable made music an essential part of the visual culture. In this exhibition we present unique material in the form of a video installation with footage filmed by Ronald Nameth for Andy Warhol in 1966, accompanied by original recordings of The Velvet Underground.
The 1970s part of the exhibition shows how Warhol’s activities changed from the open access of The Factory, to a more business-like arts corporation. Warhol still insisted on creating art that was emancipating, both in terms of politics and morals, not least by challenging the boundaries of sexual identity. The American market was not ready for Warhol’s provocations, however, and he had greater success internationally, mainly in Europe. In this situation, portrait commissions saved the day. Warhol offered to depict the rich and famous, and this introduced him to New York’s hippest crowd. Warhol became a voyeuristic observer of the artificial paradise of disco culture. In the 1980s, Warhol’s artistic practice appears to have been in harmony with the Zeitgeist. He gave up his provocative approach in favour of commerce, the most flagrant cultural style of that decade. Warhol was celebrated as a trailblazer for artists such as Cindy Sherman and Richard Prince, but also for those like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, with roots in graffiti and street art. Warhol’s influence on the art scene was also expressed in unabashed “appropriations” of his art, where artists such as Mike Bidlo, Richard Pettibone, Vik Muniz and others borrowed directly from Warhol’s imagery. This art form is also represented in the exhibition.
In 1987, Warhol died following a standard surgical procedure, and his estate became the subject of an almost unprecedented grab fest. The Andy Warhol Foundation rose like a phoenix from the ashes, and the Andy Warhol Museum opened in 1994 in Pittsburgh where he was born.
A special feature of this exhibition is our Pop-Up Store, where we present the commercialisation of Warhol’s trademark and imagery that he himself promoted during his lifetime, a process that has escalated since his death. Today, the Andy Warhol Foundation guards and manages the licence rights to Warhol’s works with an iron fist, applying a fiercely restrictive policy on use, with a focus on product development and creativity. Therefore, the exhibition highlights a few product categories that have been launched on the market in recent years, including baby buggies (Bugaboo), hats (Philip Treacy), clothing (WESC), sports goods (Burton), and cosmetics (Nars). This is a multifaceted product range that can be found in any department store, and its focus on youth culture seems like a logical sequel to Warhol’s own interest in pop culture. Andy Warhol would probably brush away any objections to this commercialism, especially since the profits will go to young artists through organisations in the American arts sector.
