For the first time, The National Museum presents a solo exhibition of works by Aase Texmon Rygh (b. 1925), one of the most important pioneers in modern Norwegian sculpture.

Texmon Rygh found her artistic vision at an early point, remaining faithful to it throughout her career. With exceptionally strong determination, she arrived at a simplified and abstract form of visual expression at a time when naturalistic sculpture still had a dominant place in Norway. Esthetically, her work is more in line with an international modernist approach than that typically found in Norway.
