Summary

On May 15, 1897, the Stockholm Exhibition of Arts and Industry opened in conjunction with the silver jubilee celebration of King Oscar II (r. 1872-1907). The Hall of Arts, designed by Ferdinand Boberg and organized by Prince Eugen, Sweden’s “painting prince”, not only celebrated the art of Scandinavia, but also advanced the country’s cosmopolitan ambitions by exhibiting foreign art throughout the galleries. This article examines the overlooked presence of art from the United States at this exhibition, including the notable contributions of John Singer Sargent and James McNeill Whistler. By addressing the transnational critical reception of American art in Stockholm, this article considers the legacy of internationalism at the Stockholm Exhibition and its place within the broader history of late nineteenth-century Nordic-American exchange.

概括

1897年5月15日，斯德哥尔摩艺术与工业展览会与国王奥斯卡二世（1872-1907年）的银禧庆祝活动同时开幕。艺术厅由费迪南德·博伯格（Ferdinand Boberg）设计，由瑞典的“绘画王子”尤金亲王组织，不仅赞扬了斯堪的那维亚的艺术，而且还通过在整个美术馆中展示外国艺术来提升该国的国际化野心。本文考察了美国在此次展览中被忽视的艺术存在，包括约翰·辛格·萨金特和詹姆斯·麦克尼尔·惠斯勒的杰出贡献。通过解决在斯德哥尔摩对美国艺术的跨国批判性接受，本文考虑了国际主义在斯德哥尔摩展览会上的传承及其在19世纪末北欧-美国交流的更广泛历史中的地位。
