Rolf de Maré was born in Stockholm in 1888. In 1913 he made friends with post-impressionist painter Nils von Dardel
who was not particularly well off, but imaginative and talented, while
de Maré was enthusiastic and had money. Together they were a very
fruitful duo and in 1920 they created Ballets Suédois at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris. In the autumn of 1924 Giorgio de Chirico curated the scenography and costumes for Pirandello's La Giara. In 1933, Rolf de Maré founded Les Archives internationales de la Danse (AID) in Paris — the world's first museum and research institute for dance.
The Archive became a famous centre for studies in dance and visitors
came from all over the world to see exhibitions or to study in its vast
library. The dance center also published its own magazine and books,
arranged lecture demonstrations in the building which de Maré had
constructed for his dance centre. After the World War
the archives had grown too large for a private person to maintain, de
Maré closed his business in Paris and donated parts of the collections —
some 6,000 books, engravings and other items, all concerned mainly with
Western dance — to the French government which placed them at the museum and library of the Paris Opera.
However, the museum declined to accept two substantial elements of de
Maré's collection: firstly, material from the Ballets Suédois, and
secondly, the fruits of his expedition of exploration to Indonesia in 1936 — the first to have been undertaken with the purpose of documenting dance.
Therefore, the collection from the Swedish Ballet in Paris and the
non-European collections were brought by de Maré to Stockholm to form
the Dance Museum, which he opened in 1953 in the basement of the Royal Swedish Opera
in Stockholm. On his death he made the Dance Museum the sole heir to
his fortune, and this enabled the museum to make further acquisitions. After dissolving the Ballets Suedois in 1925, de Maré made no attempt
to revive its works. The various, concrete collectibles de Maré amassed
and that exist today as the bedrock of Stockholm's Dance Museum,
illuminate our picture of him as archivist and art collector, all the while they question his role as a connoisseur
of a theater based on the art of dancing. Throughout his life, Rolf de
Maré was also a distinguished art collector. In the early 1960s, he made
an important donation of modernist art to the Moderna Museet. Rolf de Maré died in Barcelona in 1964.
