Biography of Öyvind Fahlström written by Bengt Abrahamsson and translated by June Abrahamsson.

“Öyvind Fahlström (1928–76) was born in São Paulo to Swedish-Norwegian parents. Fahlström was unquestionably one of the twentieth century’s most innovative and versatile artists. His incentive was to investigate economical, political and social issues and the production of meaning. Rather than developing a style, he worked with a variety of different media and techniques: poetry, theater, journalism, criticism, drawing, painting, film, television, happenings, radio, objects, graphic design, and installations.”—Modern Museet
