About the Item
Two large identical vitrine cabinets by the renovened danish artist Poul Gernes (1925-1996). Decoration for Ordrup Gymnasium, Copenhagen 1989.
Single cabinet also available. Please request for price.
Poul Gernes has received an ever-increasing international acclaim with notable solo exhibitions at Deichtorhallen (Hamburg) and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Humlebæk), to name a few and was included at the prestiguoes Documenta 12 in 2007. His work is represented in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Denmark (Copenhagen), Daimler Collection (Berlin), Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Humlebæk), Museum Ludwig (Cologne), Phillips Collection (Washington DC), among many others.
"Poul Gernes’ artistic concern was driven by a love for mankind and his artistic method took its starting point at a curious exploration of materials, colours, genres etc accelerated by the spirit of the time and the avant-garde movements. In October 1961 Poul Gernes and art historian Troels Andersen co-founded the avant-garde and cross-aestethic group The Experimental Art School (Eks-skolen) in Copenhagen, established as a reaction against the institutionalization of art practices embodied by the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts at the time. The Eks-skolen proved itself to having had a major influence on the Danish art scene during the 1960s and 70s.
In the last twenty years of his life and after the completion of his monumental interior design of the Herlev Hospital, which still remains the largest artistic decoration to date in Denmark, Gernes devoted his artistic practice mainly to making site specific decorations. Celebrating a return to decorative arts, his works communicated a strong belief that art is intended for everyone. It was a concern paid to folks’ welfare, to people’s well-being, that he cared about, and uncompromisingly sought ambitiously, to change in our built-up environments and everyday surroundings"

1940s chest of drawers / archive cabinet by Danish cabinet maker. Oak and brass
By Børge Mogensen, Hans J. Wegner, Arne Vodder
Located in København K, 84
Mid-20th century Danish craftsmanship, one cannot overlook the exquisite elegance and sacral allure embodied within the masterful work of a 1940s Danish cabinetmaker. This archival chest, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, stands as a testament to the virtuosity and ingenuity of its creator.
Fashioned from solid, patinated oak, the cabinet exudes a sense of timeless sophistication, its rich grain and warm hues inviting contemplation. Yet, it is not merely its materiality that captivates, but rather the sacred geometry inherent in its design. The cabinet assumes a form reminiscent of a revered reliquary, its silhouette evoking the solemnity of sacred spaces.
At first glance, the cabinet presents itself with an air of modesty, its true grandeur hidden behind two brass piano-hinged front doors. These doors, adorned with a subtle sheen, offer a glimpse into the treasures concealed within. As they swing open with a gentle grace, they reveal a symphony of craftsmanship—a symphony composed of twelve meticulously crafted drawers...
