Mamma Andersson (born 1962) is a Swedish contemporary artist. She is based in Stockholm and is married to artist Jockum Nordström.
Born Anna Karin Andersson, she drew and painted from an early age without any family members being interested in art. Andersson’s birthplace and childhood home of Luleå is in North Sweden, near the Polar circle.
She studied at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm and her nickname Mamma (“Mother”) was added at that time to differentiate herself from another student with the same name.[when?] She was a mother during her time at art school and has two sons with artist Jockum Nordstrum.
She started by painting landscapes because that was what she saw daily as she pushed her kids around in the pram. She worked as a guard at Moderna Museet in Stockholm and was influenced by work of Dick Bengtsson. To learn to paint she found she had to engross herself in others work and cites John-Erik Franzén, Enno Hallek and her “greatest teacher” Dick Bengtsson. (from Moderna Museet 2007. Mamma Andersson, Steidl)
Work
Mamma Andersson’s paintings depict domestic interiors, lush landscapes, and genre scenes. Shaped by her upbringing amidst forests and art books, her work is imbued with beguiling narrative zest and frequent references to the stage and everyday settings as well as to works by other artists. Both familiar and mysterious, most of Andersson’s works include images of recognizable paintings by other artists as peculiarly placed accessories.
Exhibitions
Moderna Museet in Stockholm hosted a major solo exhibition of the artist’s work in 2007, curated by Ann-Sofi Noring. The exhibition traveled to Helsingin Taidehalli, Helsingfors, and Camden Arts Centre, London. The exhibition catalogue includes essays by Ann-Sofi Noring, Kim Levin and Midori Matsui, poems by Thomas Tidholm and a conversation between Karin Mamma Andersson and the author and playwright Lars Norén.
The artist’s prints were exhibited at Crown Point Press, San Francisco in 2009. In 2010, Andersson exhibited at Aspen Art Museum, Colorado. Her work was the subject of a solo exhibition at Museum Haus Esters in Krefeld, Germany in 2011. She had three solo exhibitions at David Zwirner Gallery in New York City: Room Under the Influence (2006), Who is sleeping on my pillow (2010), and Behind the Curtain (2015).
Her solo exhibition Memory Banks opened in October 2018 at The Contemporary Arts Center (CAC), Cincinnati, Ohio.

Mamma Andersson was born 1962 in Luleå, Sweden. She lives and works in Stockholm.
While stylistic references include turn-of-the-century Nordic figurative painting, folk art, and local or contemporary vernacular, Andersson’s evocative use of pictorial space and her juxtapositions of thick paint and textured washes are uniquely her own.
A major solo exhibition by the artist opened at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek, Denmark in June 2021, accompanied by an illustrated catalogue. The show surveyed fifteen years of Andersson’s practice and featured a specially created series of new paintings. The artist’s solo exhibition ‘Memory Banks’ opened in October 2018 at Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati. She won the Daniel And Florence Guerlain Drawing Prize 2018, a prestigious award honouring a living European artist. Andersson was a co-curator of the 33rd Bienal de São Paulo, Brazil in the same year.
Other notable solo exhibitions include: ‘The Lost Paradise’, David Zwirner, New York (2020); ‘Mamma Andersson’ at Stephen Friedman Gallery, London (2017); ‘Tick Tock’ at Konsthallen, Luleå, Sweden (2013); ‘Dog Days’, Museum Haus Esters, Krefeld, Germany (2012); Aspen Art Museum, Colorado (2010) and Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin, Ireland (2009). In 2007 Andersson was the subject of a critically acclaimed, mid-career survey at the Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden which travelled to the Kunsthalle Helsinki, Finland and the Camden Arts Centre, London, England. In 2006 the artist won the Carnegie Art Award, a prestigious prize for Nordic contemporary painting, and she had a corresponding exhibition that travelled extensively in Europe. Her work was represented at the Nordic Pavilion at the 50th Venice Biennale (2003).
Andersson’s works are included in prominent collections internationally, including Albright-Knox Art Gallery, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, Texas; Hammer Museum, California; Museum of Contemporary Art, California; The Broad Art Foundation, California; Centre Pompidou, Paris, France; Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden; Apoteket AB, Stockholm, Sweden; Bonnier Dahlins Stiftelse, Stockholm, Sweden; City of Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden; Folkets Hus och Parker, Stockholm, Sweden; Göteborgs Konstmuseum, Gothenburg, Sweden; Kultur I Länet, Uppsala läns andsting, Uppsala, Sweden; Malmö Konstmuseum, Malmö, Sweden; Västerås Konstmuseum, Västerås, Sweden; Satens Konstråd/National Public Art Council, Stockholm, Sweden; Magasin III Museum and Foundation for Contemporary Art, Stockholm, Sweden and Nasjonalmuseet, Oslo, Norway.
