Zusammenfassung:On November 18, Henie Onstad Kunstsenter will open a new room presenting Sonja Henie to the public. The new book, titled 'Images Performed - Sonja Henie 1912–1969', tells the story of the brand Sonja Henie, her legacy and how she collected art. The legacy of Sonja Henie is much greater than what an exhibition can accommodate. At Høvikodden in Norway, where she laid the foundations for the contemporary art museum Henie Onstad, we are surrounded by her life's work every day. Her accomplishments make it possible for us to present art of high international standard for the general public, says Tone Hansen, Director at Henie Onstad Kunstsenter. Einar Hjeldnes of KEY architects has designed the new Sonja Henie room. Within a new exhibition, Henie's trophies together with a selection of objects from her vibrant life are displayed. The exhibition also shows video clips from her skating as an athlete and her shows. In her many various careers as an athlete, businesswoman, actress, art collector and patron of the arts, Sonja Henie ended up laying the foundation for the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter at Høvikodden in Norway. The new book about Sonja Henie islaunced on the day of the exhibition opening and is published in Norwegian and English by Forlaget Press. The book is a visual presentation and anthology with newly written texts and previously unpublished materialfrom Henie's life. In her lifetime her name was a best-selling international brand, she made ice skating popular in the USA and was one of Norway's first female art collectors. For the first time, the largest monument she has left behind, the architecture of Høvikodden, has been written into a larger context. The editor of the book is Gunhild Varvin, Director of Communications at Henie Onstad [...].
