Drawing from the Denver Art Museum’s extraordinary collection of art, this exhibition focuses on how the American West has been depicted from 1830 until today. The exhibition includes 210 items, including both native artifacts and art by artists such as Andy Warhol, Ansel Adams and William Henry Jackson. The focal point of the exhibition is how art plays part in the visual culture that shapes our perceptions and myths of the conquest of the West- America’s version of a creation myth. It also sparks an essential dialogue between the European-American view of the Wild West and Native American culture.

Catalogue for the J.F. Willumsen (1863-1958) museum of the same name. This great colorist was part of a group of artists in Brittany including Gauguin painting among other subjects the Breton women with their characteristic white head dress. Willumsen worked 3 dimensionally in stone, bronze, clay and wood. His work is wonderfully mysterious and imaginative mostly with a figurative element.

J.F. Willumsen (1863 – 1958) is one of the most illustrious figures in the history of Danish art. Many will recall iconic works such as A Mountain Climber and Green Girl, but Willumsen is often overshadowed by other Danish visual artists. The exhibition directed focus at the more colourful and bold works from the late period of Willumsen’s life. It contained more than 90 works of which the majority were created after 1929. During this period, J.F. Willumsen experimented with several different styles and expressions and it was difficult, therefore, to categorise his works in relation to mainstream art history of this period. He was considered an outsider by many and had to fight for recognition, because he worked with a figurative language which departed from the abstract painting that tended to predominate contemporary painterly experiments. Willumsen’s late works are often considered peculiar, intense, and outright kitsch. Wild, Bold, and Late Willumsen shows a different and untraditional side of the artist – a side illustrating how far ahead of his time he actually was. A fantastic and very substantial catalouge, an impressive book in all its formats.

In the second half of the 19th century, Paris attracted an international gathering of women artists, drawn to the French capital by its academies and museums, studios and salons. Featuring thirty-six artists from eleven different countries, this beautifully illustrated book explores the strength of these women's creative achievements, through paintings by acclaimed Impressionists such as Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot, and extraordinary lesser-known artists such as Marie Bashkirtseff, Anna Bilinska-Bohdanowicz, Paula Modersohn-Becker, and Hanna Pauli. It examines their work against the sociopolitical background of the period, when women were mostly barred from formal artistic education but cleverly navigated the city's network of ateliers, salons, and galleries. Essays consider the powerfully influential work of women Impressionists, representations of the female artist in portraiture, the unique experiences of Nordic women artists, and the significant presence of women artists throughout the history of the Paris Salon. By addressing the long-undervalued contributions of women to the art of the later 19th century, Women Artists in Paris pays tribute to pioneers who not only created remarkable paintings but also generated momentum toward a more egalitarian art world.

This richly illustrated catalogue was published along with a 2006 spring exhibition at Skagen’s Museum, showing 60 works by the Swedish painter Anders Zorn (1860-1920). The exhibition is the result of a unique collaboration between the Zorn museum in Mora and Skagen’s Museum. The exhibition focuses on some of Zorn’s most well-known paintings as well as a broad selection of his watercolours with motifs from his native home, but the show also includes a number of works from his many trips abroad. Zorn worked with watercolour all his life and, together with the Swedish painter Carl Larsson, is one of Sweden’s most outstanding artists in this field.
