\u00d6yvind Fahlstr\u00f6m and Carl Fredrik Reutersw\u00e4rd - whose work is prominently represented in the collection of the Sprengel Museum Hannover thanks to a generous donation from the artist - belonged to a circle within the Swedish art scene of the 1950s and 60s that was just as united in its enthusiasm for Marcel Duchamp's work as it was in its fierce rejection of abstract expressionism. Now the works of these three very different artists come together in the exhibition, and especially in the book GEGEBEN SIND. Numerous connections between their works become apparent, so that what they have in common becomes more and more apparent in view of their concepts and games, their wordplay and their irony. One of Carl Frederik Reutersw\u00e4rd's best-known works is the sculpture \"Non Violence\": the revolver with the knotted barrel that has been placed in front of the UN headquarters in New York and has come to symbolise the seemingly impossible task of this institution to preserve world peace. Carl Frederik Reutersw\u00e4rd responded to the assassination of John Lennon with this sculpture, which was installed at 16 other locations around the world.<\/p>\n
