Vilhelm Hammershøi

In a quiet room with open doors and minimal decor, almost all traces of life have been carefully erased. Light and sound are trapped and the flow of time seems to have stopped where it is. One of Denmark’s most celebrated 19th century painters, Hammershøi’s meditative work often features sparse interior scenes that are calmingly simple compared to our cluttered modern lives. But their bareness also carries an unsettling suggestion of absence or presence that the viewer can’t quite place their finger on. Mondays are closed, and Fridays are open until 8pm.
