Works
Fahlström was a painter and multimedia artist who created variable paintings with movable magnetic elements that viewers could rearrange, merging Pop Art with political activism and game theory. His complex works like "World Map" addressed Cold War politics, capitalism, and global conflicts through comic book-inspired imagery. His innovative practice is held in major collections including MoMA, the Moderna Museet, and the Centre Pompidou.
