Carl-Henning Pedersen

The renowned CoBrA artist Carl-Henning Pedersen (1913-2007) is known for his fabled painting. Now, for the first time in a museum context, independent attention is being paid to the artist's works in clay. The exhibition focuses on the entire color-saturated palette of ceramics from Carl-Henning Pedersen's hand. From his monumental decorations to, among other places, the Angli farm in Herning, 1966-1968, to his collaboration with Royal Copenhagen in the early 1990s. Here he creates a large number of works, partly on faience and porcelain, partly on pottery, just as he performs a series of expressive experiments with clay from the end of the decade, where the figures bear the clear fingerprints of the artist's spontaneous creation process. Exhibition: Clay Keramikmuseet, Middelfart, Denmark (16.05.-20.12.2020).
