Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

International in its perspective as well as its scale, The Louisiana Collection comprises a good 4,000 works. It covers the period from 1945 to the present and includes almost every genre – with an emphasis on painting and sculpture.

The Louisiana Collection is continually expanded and far too large to be shown in its entirety. For this reason, besides individual features that are almost always on view, the bulk of the collection is shown in rotating selective presentations. This allows space for exhibitions and provides opportunities to show the works in new ways and configurations.

FOCUS POINTS

For Louisiana it has never been an objectiv to represent the entire chronological line of modern art. The collection instead focuses on groups of works and artistic periods.

These include artists Giacometti and Jorn and periods such as European Nouveau Réalisme with Yves Klein, American Pop Art with Warhol and Lichtenstein, German art in the 1980s with Kiefer and Baselitz, and video art since the 1990s.

The museum works constantly to renew the collection and close any "holes". On the classic modern front, pieces by Louise Bourgeois, Philip Guston and David Hockney have been acquired together with major contemporary works.
