Tove Haugsbø Editor & Author

Tove Haugsbø is recognised as one of the leading authorities on Nikolai Astrup and the principal scholar behind the Catalogue Raisonné of Astrup’s oil paintings. A researcher and senior curator at Kode Art Museum and Composer Homes, Bergen, her work is grounded in the sustained first-hand study of the artist’s oeuvre. Astrup was the focus of her PhD in Art History at the University of Bergen (2015), which initiated a new critical reading of his work. For the past decade, Haugsbø has led the Astrup Research Centre at Kode, providing the scholarly foundation for this definitive catalogue.
