For the first time, the Hamburger Kunsthalle is presenting a representative overview of the multifaceted oeuvre of the Swedish artist Anders Zorn (1860-1920), who was one of the most famous artists in the world in the years around 1900: He became a veritable star painter in Europe and in the United States he painted portraits of two presidents as well as various heads of American high society. The exhibition comprises around 150 works, including various major works, but also rarely shown paintings and watercolors, his impressive etchings and various photographs created by him. At the invitation of Kunsthalle director Alfred Lichtwark, Zorn visited Hamburg in 1891 to create several atmospheric views of the port, which are also included in the exhibition.
