Words by art historian and critic Thomas Millroth

Ingemar liked this approach and felt it could be found in Swedish art after 1945. Rolande Kemp, an early art friend of his when he first started collecting, shared this view and it could be seen in his dense red and black interiors.


Lage Lindell, however, made the greatest impression upon Ingemar. One day the photographer Pelle Stackman phoned me and said “You’ve got to meet a collector who has lots of Lage”. I had, of course, written about Lage and his contemporaries. My first meeting with Ingemar never ended! His Lage Lindell collection became one of the most undoubtedly distinguished collections in Sweden. The majority of the collection was sold when his wife Ulla died but he had carefully selected which works he wanted to keep.
Lage Lindell was always hung in the best position in his apartment.

Ingemar was an expert in the post-war generation of artists. We often discussed various works and trends in-depth and when Ingemar made his choices they were always spot on, such as Lennart Rodhe’s “Hönshuset” (The Henhouse).

In 1990 I reconstructed the legendary Konkret (Concrete) exhibition of 1949 at Galerie Blanche. Ingemar took this opportunity to acquire some unbeatable classics from the 40s; Pierre Olofsson’s “Krumelur” (Squiggle) and “Brokig knut” (Colourful knot), Olle Bonniér’s “Fuga” (Fugue). On another occasion, he bought Arne Jones’ “Treklang” (Triad). An impressive quartet in Swedish art history!

Clearly, he was interested in this type in art; Lars Englund was another favourite. The Galerie Bleue in Stockholm, owned by Sara Bonniér Holmgren who had previously been married to Olle, was able to display the breadth of the development of constructive art with artists such as Elli Hemberg, Cajsa Holmstrand and Einar Höste.

The latter was commissioned to design Ulla and Ingemar Dahlberg’s gravestone.



But Ingemar was not bound to one style.




To Ingemar, art often meant friendship.
He had a special relationship with PO Ultvedt, whose “Dömd till skinka” was a permanent feature on every visit to the Dahlbergs’ home on Baggensgatan.

At every moment, the art touched Ingemar. Literally. He was especially fond of small sculptures one could pick up and hold in one’s hand. Böttcher, Renqvist and Hall I have already mentioned. With Carl Milles, Martin Holmgren, Liss Eriksson, Asmund Arle, Robert Jacobsen and Erik Dietman, they stood on their shelf to delight the eye and welcome curious fingers.

The collection includes names that perhaps not everyone will recognise today; amongst them Eva Hallström with her magnificent poetry of colour. It was a different time. But Ingemar sought out artistic quality beyond his time. He was both a collector and a passionate observer.
