In this episode, we were delighted to be joined by Alexandra Fried and Alexandra Herlitz who, together, host the podcast Konsthistoriepodden a Swedish Art History podcast. Both are currently senior lecturers at Gothenburg University in the department of Cultural Science specialising in specific periods of Art History.The Konsthistorienpodden discusses the process, ownership and reception of well-known artworks and covers a diverse roster of artists from a broad spectrum of time periods. Most of all, it reveals the unknown twists and tales that lay behind many of the lives of the artists and their acclaimed artworks.In our conversation, we discuss the value of understanding or being able to deconstruct artworks of historical importance and how that impacts how we view contemporary art. We also explore the importance of the narrative behind contemporary and historical artists and the value of historical art in modern culture and society.You can listen to the Konsthistorienpodden on most podcast platforms.
