Women Artists - Famous and Forgotten

In recent years, there has been a great deal of effort to highlight significant female artistry. The work has resulted in Sigrid Hjertén, Vera Nilsson, Siri Derkert and others now ranking as highly as their peer male contemporary colleagues.
An important project was Moderna Museet's venture The Second Wish Museum, 2006-2009, which aimed to supplement the collection with works by women artists mainly from the first half of the 20th century. The museum acquired, among others, Tora Vega Holmström's work Strangers.
