Zum Zeitpunkt ihres Todes hat die Presse viel über Ingrid Olssen geschrieben: Sie war eine weltberühmte Künstlerin. Sie war eine furchtbare Mutter für ihre Töchter Mattie und Nora. Und ihr Vermächtnis würde für immer weiterleben.

Mattie und Nora wuchsen unter den Augen der Öffentlichkeit auf und leben völlig unterschiedliche Leben.

Everyone has heard of Girls. But what happened to the women they became? At the time of her death, the press wrote many things about Ingrid Olssen: She was a brilliant artist.

Even so, it's unlikely the world will ever see another Ingrid Olssen exhibition - her last request to her daughters was to throw her ashes in the canyon and her paintings in the sea.
