18 July 2024 Copenhagen: The Sculpture at the Louisiana Museum in Humlebaek

 


This modern art museum came highly recommended.  We now understand why, as the museum is very big and the collection is quite varied.  It winds along a ridgetop next to the coast.  The sculpture collection is quite extensive and there are works by artists not normally thought of when one thinks of sculptures; most notable are Max Ernst and Joan Miro.  Of course there are works by Alexander Calder, Henry Moore, Richard Serra, Roy Lichtenstein and many many more.  On this post the names of the artists and the name of the piece will be captions of the pictures.
