Showcases works from the past 40 years of one of Britain's most acclaimed living artistsIn the spring of 2024, ARKEN Museum of Modern Art presents the first solo exhibition in Scandinavia featuring one of Britain's most renowned artists. In his monumental and spectacular installations, Anish Kapoor explores the tension between mass and emptiness, between what can be seen and what cannot. This is evident when he invites viewers to let their gaze disappear into his 'black holes' - the paradoxical manifestation of invisibility that fundamentally challenges the experience of the spectator. Kapoor's works evoke both awe and a sense of disquiet; they are often executed on a very large scale and are extremely physical and present.The richly illustrated exhibition catalog delves into Anish Kapoor's work through selected pieces and texts, opening up a wide range of philosophical, poetic, physical, and existential questions.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Not just a design object, but also the symbol of a particularly Danish way of life.Lamp design is a field that continues to attract great attention, from both designers and design aficionados. With Poul Henningsen's iconic PH-lamp as its point of departure the book tells the stories behind 100 Danish lamp designs through text and images, and introduces the reader to the inventions that enabled the first revolutionizing light sources.Lighting is a key element in 'hygge' - the Danish definition of a warm and cosy ambience. Although hard-core functionalists like Henningsen called for form to follow function, real-life factors required them to compromise, and this came to define Danish lamp design: hygge is a crucial quality that had to be included in the design. Thus, the purpose of the modern Danish lamp was- and is - not only to provide light but also to act as a decorative element and to spread a cosy ambience.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A meeting between Pissarro and a Danish Golden Age painter proved decisive for French Impressionism This book adds another dimension to our knowledge of the emergence of French Impressionism. In approximately 1850, the later 'father' of French Impressionism, Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) met the Danish painter Fritz Melbye (1826-69) in Pissarro's hometown on St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, at that time a Danish colony. This book argues that Melbye is a 'missing link' between the Danish Golden Age and French Impressionism - and the now almost unknown Melbye thus had a significant influence on the beginning of Impressionism. In 2017, the Ordrupgaard museum in Denmark held the exhibition Pissarro. A Meeting on St. Thomas on the occasion of the centenary of the sale of the Virgin Islands. This extended and revised book presents new research that the exhibition gave rise to. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen (1863-1945) might be best known for her marriage to the Danish composer Carl Nielsen. But she was definitely was an artist in her own right. Her work was greatly acknowledged at her time, and she made way for many female artists so that they could educate and perform their art. She was the first woman in the world to undertake two of the most prestigious projects in the world of professional sculpture: an equestrian statue of a king (Christian IX of Denmark) and bronze doors for a cathedral (Ribe Cathedral). Paradoxically, while her extensive, tireless work in plaster and bronze has made Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen an inspiring role model for generations of Danish sculptors, it has not yet earned her a justified place in art history.

In The Shadow's Wandering Per Bak Jensen has collected 59 of his new photographs from his wanderings in a world where "everything seems to be slowly disappearing while at the same time in the process of being reborn", as he states in one of the short texts accompanying the images in the book.The editor of the book Johannes Riis, former publisher at Gyldendal, states: "At first the world in which Per Bak invites us is rigorous and relentless, but at second glance a diverse richness unfolds. The sternness inhabits its own unfathomable beauty. It is not beauty that appears magically by the lightest touch. Rather, it takes a certain view of the world, a perception that is ridden of the conventional, the banal. It detests shortcuts and procrastination. It arises from an ability to select, focus, and concentrate. The photos do not present a key to understand every single frame.
