Love has always been the preserve of the artist. Whereas studies of romance and eroticism in earlier times were often clandestine, art from the mid-20th century has increasingly painted a more nuanced picture of human relationships, questioning the very concept of love. ARoS has published a colourful exhibition catalogue highlighting the exhibited works together with a feature essay by PhD Tine Engel Mogensen, focusing on the historical perspective of love and relationships based on love in the 21st century. The organisers of the 'I LOVE YOU' exhibition are museum curators Lise Mortensen and Pernille Taagaard Dinesen, ARoS. Includes Jeff Koons, Jesper Just, Pippilotti Rist, Damien Hirst, Yoko Ono, Barbara Kruger, Louise Bourgeois, Sophie Calle, Nan Goldin, Rebecca Horn and many more.Bjørn Nørgaard, Michael Kvium, Paul Chan, C.W.Eckersberg, Auguste Rodin and many more.

Henrik Ibsen’s classic Peer Gynt must be an obvious challenge to any artist today. Nevertheless, there are several reasons why especially Immendorff feels a special kind of interest in the play. Not only does he know theatre, having been a ballet dancer as a boy and having worked with sets and stage design at the beginning of the sixties with Theo Otto, but also in a very precise sense, his own artistic creations, his paintings, have something in common with theatre and with Henrik Ibsen’s method. Here is an old Norwegian fairytale turned into a modern story by this series of paintings. Immendorff occupies the role of the viewer in this play, making his interventions in the text, and also gives those viewing his paintings the task to complete them and to make them speak beyond their apparent limits.

The walls all along the stairway up to Immendorff’s studio - located in a neglected block of workshops, are lined with framed posters of his own production. The posters can be regarded as trophies of a kind, like a rock musician’s display of gold and platinum albums. They are signs of having exhibited in the right places at the right times. As for the generation of Immendorff (b. 1945), these were places such as Galerie Nächst St. Stephan (Vienna), Kunsthalle Bern, van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven) and Villa Stuck (Munich) which were important stations at the end of the 1970’s and the beginning of the 1980’s. Posters are an element of reality, the universe of the streets breaking into the artist’s studio, and what this artist calls a reminiscence of his political past.

Queen Sonja of Norway, is a collector of contemporary Norwegian art. Art became her majesty’s pastime as a breather from her public duties when she was crown princess, and she has been an active art collector for more than 25 years. Here is a look at the history behind this art collector and conversations the author has had with the Queen. There is an emphasis on Norwegian painting from the 1960s until today - from Jakob Weidemann to Olav Christopher Jenssen. A portrait of the Queen by Andy warhol, one of a suite of six silkscreen and polymer portraits he did of her on canvas as part of his 1982 celebrities series, is included. She discusses her meetings with Warhol and also Robert Rauschenberg and Henry Moore. As well as her photographs of the meetings with the artists.
