Since opening on Blasieholmen in 2008, Lydmar Hotel has made photography a central part of its identity. More than sixty exhibitions have been presented in the lobby, bringing stories and perspectives from photographers across the world into the heart of the hotel.
Our collaboration with Lydmar is one of our longest and most extensive. Over the years, we have curated numerous exhibitions, openings and private events, creating encounters between photographers, hotel guests, collectors and Stockholm’s wider cultural community.
But the art at Lydmar is never confined to a temporary exhibition or a single public space. Works by artists we represent can be found throughout the hotel, from the lobby and corridors to its living rooms and guest rooms. Selected works remain after each exhibition, allowing the collection to grow and evolve over time.
At Lydmar, photography becomes part of the stay. It might be encountered over breakfast, on the way to a room or in a quiet moment behind a closed door. This commitment to living with art, rather than simply displaying it, is what makes the hotel such a natural and enduring partner for us.
