A group of internationally renowned visual artists from Asia, Africa, Middle East, Latin America, the U.S. and Europe, including Denmark have been chosen to participate in this exhibition . This event fashions the Museum’s tribute to H.C.Andersen on the occasion of his 200th birthday. Each work relates to Andersen’s life and work demonstrating that the fairy tales’ fantastic universe of life and death, of good and evil powers, of the true and the false, of wisdom and foolishenss and, above all, of love still serves - even today - as a bountiful source of inspiration for our present day’s artists. What this entails is that many different kinds of visual expressions, in the form of paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, installations and videos - and often in hybrid forms - are represented here. Includes Kara Walker, William Kentridge, Tony Ousler, Jeff Koons, Tal R, Jorge Pardo, Pipilotti Rist among many more.

A Jackson Pollock in three dimensions is one critic s unforgettable description of a piece by Claire Falkenstein, whose life and work spanned the 20th century. The American artist and teacher was born in Oregon in 1908 and after living in San Francisco, Paris and New York died in Los Angeles in 1997. This lavishly produced book is amazingly the first monograph ever on the work of this ceaselessly inventive artist. Falkenstein called her sculptures, paintings and prints structures, she also designed furniture, fountains, screens, wallpaper and jewelry. A fresh look at her multifaceted work collected by major institutions ranging from MOMA to the Tate Britain places Falkenstein in the company of better known peers and further credits her explorations as prototypical of the work of post minimal and contemporary artists.

MICHAEL FALZONE: EXAMINED explores forty years of an extremely eclectic career beginning with minimalist sculpture in the ‘70s continuing through today with “funky” collage paintings and assemblages. In the essay, Betty Ann Brown states “Falzone smartly inhabits the intersection of cubist construction, Dada installation, expressionist painting, and psychological exploration. He builds totemic figures, ‘rustic’ reliefs, and fragile collages, by simmering found materials in a smart postmodern stew and spicing them with artistic insight.” Beginning with an essay by art historian, critic and writer, Dr. Betty Ann Brown, the book is segmented into decades beginning in 1970 and chronicles the evolution of Falzone’s work over forty years. Some of the artist’s writings and statements are also included.
