Paletten is Sweden's oldest and longest-running art magazine, now in its eighth decade of continuous production. It is published quarterly, primarily in Swedish but with a few articles in English, by Stiftelsen Paletten (the Paletten Foundation), located in Gothenburg.
Initially Paletten concerned itself primarily with local issues but, over time, broadened its scope to feature national and international art. Paletten often collaborates with selected artists in producing each new issue.
History
Paletten is based in Gothenburg, Sweden, where it was founded in 1940.[2] For many years it was published by the Gothenburg Artists Club. Among the first members of its editorial staff were painters Nils Nilsson and Ragnar Sandberg of the Göteborgskoloristerna group as well as Hjalmar Eldh and C.T. Holmström. The magazine's first editor-in-chief was Gunnar Wallin.
In addition to its primary focus on art, Paletten has also published poems and essays by leading Swedish authors including Erik Blomberg, Karin Boye, Gunnar Ekelöf, and Nobel Prize laureate Harry Martinson. Editors of Paletten have included Torsten Bergmark, Rabbe Enckell, Folke Edwards, Leif Nylén, Gertrud Gustavsson (Sandqvist), Hans Johansson, and Isabella Nilsson. From 1971–78, Håkan Wettre produced the periodical as managing editor.
From the mid-1990s, Paletten worked with guest editors who were curators, artists or critics and who brought an individual touch to each issue. These editors included Maria Lind, Ernst Billgren, Jan Håfström, John Sundkvist, Peter Cornell, Tom Sandqvist, Jan-Erik Lundström, and Mika Hannula. Since 2002, regular editors have included: Cecilia Gelin, Anna van der Vliet, and Sophie Allgårdh.

Melodifestivalen 2006 was the selection for the 46th song to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest. It was the 45th time that this system of picking a song had been used. Five heats had taken place to select the ten songs for the final, in Leksand, Karlstad, Karlskrona, Gothenburg and a Second Chance round in Stockholm. The final was broadcast on SVT1 and Sveriges Radio's P4 network. Carola Häggkvist was the clear favourite to win the final, with bookmakers making her the favourite and an Aftonbladet web poll showing her to have a clear margin over the other participants. The rehearsals sold out for the fourth year running; however, Carola was unable to perform in the final rehearsal due to throat problems. This led to speculation that the final would be closer than expected. Aftonbladet claimed in April 2006 that the televote may have been tampered with, as various sources reported unexplained voting on their telephone bills. It is clear that this would not have affected the result. Various finalists and heatists entered the Swedish Hitlistan chart after the competition. The second placed song, "Temple of Love", finished fourth in the Eurovision Madrid National Finals Song Contest.

(English translation) The art periodical Paletten was founded in 1939 by the Gothenburg Artists' Club and is now published four times a year by the Paletten Foundation. Formerly Paletten was primarily concerned with younger artists from the west of Sweden but the present ambition is to cover art throughout Sweden and to survey contemporary international art.
(English translation) The world is full of remarkable feats. One such is the Berlin artist Stefan Thiel's work in converting the Marquis de Sade's book 120 Days of Sodom into Braille. The new number of the art periodical Paletten concerns itself with passions and desires, and exoticism. Refreshing to read a sample of de Sade's text -- "the desire to destroy the sun and set the world afire" -- in Hans Johansson's pioneering translation.
