Bio
Mamma Andersson was born Anna Karin Andersson in Luleå, in the far north of Sweden, in 1962, and studied at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, where the nickname Mamma was added to tell her apart from another student of the same name. She began by painting the landscapes she saw every day while pushing her children in a pram, and worked for a time as a guard at Moderna Museet, where the paintings of Dick Bengtsson, whom she calls her greatest teacher, made a lasting impression. Her pictures show domestic interiors, forests and stage-like scenes, familiar and slightly strange at once, and many contain recognisable paintings by other artists, placed in them like props. Moderna Museet gave her a major solo exhibition in 2007, which travelled to Helsinki and to Camden Arts Centre in London, and she had solo shows at David Zwirner in New York in 2006, 2010 and 2015. She lives and works in Stockholm.
Paintings and works on paper make up most of her output, and she is also a printmaker: her prints were shown at Crown Point Press in San Francisco in 2009. For a print, the edition, the publisher and the paper should match the published details; for a painting, a gallery invoice and the date of the work are the first things a buyer asks for.
