About the Item
This work was part of Poul Gernes’ decoration of Hotel Trouville in the city of Hornbaek, by the beach north of Copenhagen. Gernes was decorating the entire hotel in 1988. The work is twofold.
Poul Gernes is a Danish artist, furniture designer and co-founder of the alternative art school Eks-Skolen. His serial, colorful works move between pop art and minimalism.
In 1949 his works were shown to the public for the first time at the Charlottenborg Palace in Copenhagen. Later, he also devotes himself to designing furniture, lamps and wallpapers. In 1961 he founds an alternative art college, the Den Eksperimenterende Kunstskole (Experimental Art College). The Eks-Skolen relies on an art concept that leads to social awareness and stands for an anti-authoritarian teaching system. According to them, art should not arise for the sake of art, but should serve society, give and convey joy. In the early 1970s, the Eks-Skolen dissolves. As a result on that, Gernes organizes in various artist groups and also exhibits with them.
From 1974 to 1976 Gernes produced together with Per Kirkeby the film Normannerne. In 1968 he designed a 25-storey Copenhagen hospital in Herlev. Everything is done in contrasting, colorful, bright colors right through to the furnishings. Further orders for the design of schools, cinemas and hotels in similar aesthetics was following. From 1985 to 1991 he teaches as a professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. His most famous works are series of pictures from the 1960s and 70s. They show colorful circular shapes. He remains critical towards the art market and prefers to associate his works with the environment rather than being hanged in a gallery. Outside Denmark, Gernes gained notoriety only after his death.
Gernes was representing Denmark at the Venice Biennal in 1988. His works were exhibited at Documenta 2007 and during the last decade he has received broader recognition for his shows at Deictorhallen in Hamburg, Louisiana - Museum of Modern Art, Malmö Kunsthal, Phillips Collection Washington and many more.
