Reflections
31.08.06 - 21.10.06
It is now 20 years ago since we, Luise & Jens Faurschou, opened our gallery.
This is a brilliant opportunity to stop and reflect on the past as implied in the exhibition title. We are able to look back at a number of wonderful exhibitions with: Bruce Nauman, Michael Kvium, Asger Jorn, Robert Rauschenberg, Christian Lemmerz, Mark Tansey, Michael Bevilacqua, Wim Delvoye, Erik A. Frandsen, Gerhard Richter, Erik Parker, Shirin Neshat, Pablo Picasso, Nina Sten-Knudsen, Jörg Immendorff, Tom Sanford, Georg Baselitz, Edvard Munch – and a number of curated exhibitions as for example “The Arrogance of Age” curated by Per Kirkeby.
In our everyday we are delighted with fruitful collaborations with artists, collectors and museums worldwide. Upon reflection, we continue to pursue the same goals, as from the onset – that is to present the highest artistic quality in the exhibitions and works the gallery promote, now with even greater experience and ideas for the coming 20 years.
In this exhibition we are pleased to show works by our gallery artists as well as works by artists who we have exhibited a number of times, over the years, such as Asger Jorn, Andy Warhol and Mark Tansey. A central painting in the exhibition is Mark Tansey’s ”Trio”, a vision of New Jersey’s skyline reflected in the Hudson River at sunrise with the Twin Towers casting long shadows in the water. The viewer is at first glance met with an abstract painting, which slowly, upon reflection reveals its figurative narrative.
The exhibition will reflect Galleri Faurschou’s artistic profile, history and programme.
Visible from the selection of works, Galleri Faurschou collaborates with artists who reflect on life and reality in serious manner with aesthetic conciseness, art historical consciousness and often adding a good portion of humour.
Art should not only be visibly striking, but also move the viewer when encountering it, giving one something to reflect upon when leaving the gallery.
