Märtha Fredrique Gahn (Fellingsbro, 30 September 1881 – 17 October 1973) was a Swedish textile artist. Together with Elsa Flensburg, Bror Geijer Göthe and Märtha Hjortzberg-Reuterswärd, she was one of the founders of the "Ateljé Handtryck" textile workshop in 1915.[1] In 1935 she became head of the Libraria studio, which produced ecclesiastical textiles for the Church of Sweden.[2] Gahn's work may be found in the collections of the Nationalmuseum[3] the Röhsska Museum,[4] and the Nordic Museum.[5]
A portrait of Gahn by Greta Fahlcrantz is currently in the portrait collection of Gripsholm Castle.[2]
