New works in the Collection 2009-2011. Video, photography, installation, sculpture and painting
It is unfortunately not a matter of course that Danish or even foreign museums can expand their collections with works by young or classic artists. This takes funding that is available to few museums, and Louisiana too has to raise money every time something catches our eye that we think is important to the museum's overall artistic statement. On the other hand there are many foundations and private individuals who think the museum's extraordinary collection merits continued expansion, and this year's almost sensationally rich presentation demonstrates this. There are works in all genres - video, photography, installation, sculpture and painting - from major works by Asger Jorn and Poul Gernes, Roni Horn, Erwin Wurm and Thomas Struth, to a wealth of contemporary art; from Thomas Demand and Tillmans to the youngest artists. Pink Caviar is a rich, diverse exhibition that is both on the ball and allows for the classics of tomorrow. On may 25th and 26th, two day art festival celebrating new art at Louisiana.
