2016 Gernes Exhibition at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art - Original Vintage Poster

Colorful and stylish exhibition poster by Poul Gernes!

Poul Gernes (1925-1996) was a Danish painter and sculptor known for his vibrant, colorful works and contributions to public art. A leading figure in the Danish avant-garde, he co-founded the Eks-Skolen (Experimental Art School) in 1961, which challenged traditional art education and practices. Gernes is celebrated for his large-scale, geometric murals and installations that adorn public buildings, emphasizing art's accessibility and role in everyday life. His work often featured simple, repetitive forms and bright, contrasting colors, aiming to create an engaging and uplifting environment for viewers.

The painting on the poster was on display at the infamous Louisiana in Denmark.

Louisiana (Danish Museum of Modern Art) is located in Humlebæk north of Copenhagen. The museum was opened its doors in 1958 and with its approximately 600,000 annual visitors, is one of Denmark's most visited museums and among the ten most visited tourist attractions. Louisiana is a collection of contemporary art, but also an interaction between art, architecture and landscape.

Louisiana got his name from court master Alexander Brun, who built a villa on the site in 1855. The villa's name is probably inspired by the three women he married - all three were named Louise. The founder of Louisiana chose to keep the name from the country house he subsequently transformed into a museum. The villa is now a part of the museum.
