| |
 Untitled Film Stills is one of the most renown series by the American artist Cindy Sherman, 69 black and white photographs in which the artist poses as an actress in imaginary movies akin to those from the golden era in cinema around the fifties. She is either in an unidentified B-movie, a major Hollywood movie or a film noir from Europe. The photographs were taken from 1977 to 1980 and made the young artist immediately very famous in the art scene and opened the eyes of the art world to the possibilities of photography.CindySherman´s resumé Works by Cindy Sherman | |

 Prints in the collection of the National Gallery.Edvard Munch did his first prints in late 1894, but until spring 1895 he gained experience in the discipline through various means and methods. The National Gallery of Iceland possesses a magnificent selection of 18 prints, which can be described as the artist’s initiation in this particular field. It was a good friend of Munch, the economist and town planner Christian Gierløff, who generously gave the 18 works to the Icelandic nation in 1947. For the guests of the National Gallery of Iceland this exhibition is a rare occasion to acquaint themselves with the diverse and somewhat unique printmaking of this most famous Scandinavian artist Edvard Munch prints, the complete graphic works in Munch museet, Oslo Edvard Munch as a graphic artist | |
