A Weekend of Art Museums

Last weekend (2/15-2/16) I went to the Statens Museum for Kunst-National Gallery of Denmark in Copenhagen and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk. Here are some of the highlights of what I saw: 

At the National Gallery:

French Impressionism: Henri Matisse! 

Danh Vo- "We the People (Detail)":  Danh Vo's full-scale re-creation of the Statue of Liberty. Its 400 pieces are scattered throughout museums around the world. There are 100 fragments located at the National Gallery. 

More highlights from the National Gallery: Matisse (top center), Edvard Munch (bottom left), and  William Louis Sorensen (top right and bottom center)

At the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art:
I technically wasn't supposed to be taking photos, so I didn't get as many as I would have liked to. I was probably told by security to put my photo away about 10 times =)

The grounds. The museum is located on the shore of the Øresund Sound in Humlebæk.

Sculpture Park. Henri Moore sculpture at bottom left.   

Geocometti's existential  sculptures. 

"Dead Drunk Danes" by Asger Jorn . . .hmmm. 

Tara Donovan exhibit. She uses everyday objects to portray an "organic growth" concept in her work, including drinking straws  paper plates, plastic sheets, button, film, metal objects, etc.  

Incredible Warhol exhibit of his early drawings. Very minimalist and conservative in detail, it seemed to me as though the works shown were never meant to be seen by the public. Lots of them had ink smudges, coffee stains, rips in paper, etc. I wasn't able to get more photos, as the security guards were hawks about camera usage. I did manage to get this one, which is one of the more iconic drawings in the collection.
