The Brewing Magnate's Forgotten Treasures The Brewing Magnate’s Forgotten Treasures Friday March 2nd marks Carl Jacobsen’s 170th birthday with the opening of the exhibition, “From Buddha to the Baroque”. This lifts the veil from the brewing magnate’s unknown collections which contain many surprises. Admission on opening day will be free of charge. It was with Carlsberg beer that Carl Jacobsen put Denmark on the world map but he was also a passionate collector of art. Today he is known especially for Northern Europe’s largest collection of ancient art, which can be seen at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. With the exhibition ”From Buddha to the Baroque” the Glyptotek has been going through its own storage magazines and those of the National Gallery of Denmark, the National Museum of Denmark and the Thorvaldsen Museum on the hunt for Jacobsen’s hidden or forgotten treasures. On display for the first time in a century Now for the first time the public can experience examples of the full range of Jacobsen’s enormous collections under one roof. The exhibition will present more than 100 works, including statues of Buddha from Asia, Italian Renaissance and Baroque art, ancient Greek stone tools, medals and much, much more. Several of these collections have not been on view for a century: they are works of high quality, which, for the most part are unknown to the public. Among the treasures are a c 800 year-old Syrian “hand grenade”, a two-metre-high gilded statue of Buddha from Japan and the largest collection of obsidian blades outside Greece. Carl Jacobsen – a brewing magnate with a collector’s passion Carl Jacobsen bought his first work of art when he was only eight years old – a drawing by the Danish painter Martinus Rørbye. As a young man he began to buy paintings and sculpture, and in his last years he also developed a taste for Asian sculpture. In the course of his life the art-loving Jacobsen left his mark on the city of Copenhagen in the form of The Little Mermaid, the decoration of the Botanical Gardens and the spire of Nikolaj Church. Thought he was buying Rembrandt For a time the collecting mania threatened to take over Jacobsen to such an extent that his wife began to worry that it would endanger their children’s inheritance. Although he would have liked to acquire works by the great masters such as Michelangelo and Raphael, on more than one occasion he bought works which were not what he believed them to be. These included a costly Rembrandt, which turned out not to be a Rembrandt at all. Experience the stories and see it all at the exhibition, which offers a more nuanced picture of the collector, patron of the arts and brewing magnate Carl Jacobsen. Learn more about the brewing magnate as collector on the Glyptotek’s homepage. In conjunction with the exhibition a catalogue will be published ”Buddha, barok & bryggeren – Carl Jacobsens ukendte samlinger”, Meddelelser fra Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Ny serie nr. 14 2012, 228 pages, profusely illustrated. Published in Danish. Price: 150 kr. Available from the museum’s art bookshop. To mark the occasion of Carl Jacobsen’s 170th birthday admission to the museum will be free on Friday 2nd March. The press will be very welcome to join us at the opening of “From Buddha to the Baroque” on Thursday 1st March at 5.30 p.m. The exhibition has been realised with support from the Scandinavia-Japan Sasakawa Foundation and S.C. Van Fonden. Download press photographs: photobucket.com/ncg_bbb (log in: presse) For further information: Pia Svejgaard Pedersen Head of Communications [email protected] Tlf.: +45 60 95 69 49 .

    $UFKLWHFWXUDO Liefooghe, M. 2019. Buildings for Bodies of Work: The Artist Museum After the Death and Return of the Author. Architectural Histories, +LVWRULHV 7(1): 12, pp. 1–13. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/ah.296 RESEARCH ARTICLE Buildings for Bodies of Work: The Artist Museum After the Death and Return of the Author Maarten Liefooghe Critiques of the cult of artists, life-and-work narratives, and the authority of authors over the meaning of their works not only unsettle the conventions of literary and art historical studies. They also challenge the importance of the artist museum and its architecture. Adopting Roland Barthes’ discussions of the ‘death’ and ‘return of the author’ of the late 1960s and early 1970s as a critical lens, this article examines how the architecture of artist museums reflects and contributes to the discursive construction of the resilient figure of the artist-author. To do so, the article compares the cultist make-up of the 19th- century Thorvaldsen Museum-Mausoleum (opened in 1848) with the resolutely work-centred museums of Van Gogh (1973) and Roger Raveel (1999). The architecture of the last two examples is significantly different, however. The Van Gogh Museum seemingly negates its monographic orientation, while the Raveel Museum amends a white cube logic with a reserved interpretation of artistic individuality and site-boundedness. Parallel to the institutional interpretation of a museum’s monographic mission, and the curators’ representation of the artist-life-work nexus in exhibitions, architecture is yet another element in a museum’s assemblage of an artist presented as a dead or revived author to its visitors.

Samarbejdet er ble- vet realiseret med økonomisk støtte fra Bikubenfonden. Artiklerne beskæftiger sig hver især med perioden 1870-90 med udgangs- punkt i den pågældende kulturinstitutions fagområde og faste udstillinger eller samlinger. Og spændvidden i artiklerne er stor: Københavns udvikling fra fæstningsby til metropol, kunstens udvikling og påvirkningerne sydfra, arkitekturen, historiemaleriet, monarki og demokrati og meget mere. Der- imod finder den nysgerrige læser ikke en artikel om det moderne gennem- bruds litteratur. Det skyldes, dels at litteraturen ikke er repræsenteret med en kulturinstitution i dette samarbejde, og dels at litteraturen til fulde er be- skrevet og analyseret i andre publikationer. Med artikelsamlingen og den tilhørende lærervejledning i hånden er der rig mulighed for at planlægge tværfaglige og tværinstitutionelle undervisnings- forløb om perioden 1870-90. God fornøjelse!

I Danmark har vi brygget øl i mere end 5000 år, og kornet er ofte ble- vet kaldt Nordens Drue. Desværre har udbuddet af godt øl på værts- huse og i butikker gennem mange år ikke været ret stort. Derfor har kendskabet til og mulighederne for at få de mange spændende ølty- per, som kan fås i landene omkring os, været begrænsede. Det er heldigvis ved at ændre sig markant, idet der de sidste par år har været en stærkt stigende interesse for godt øl i Danmark. DANSKE ØLENTUSIASTER Foreningen blev stiftet den 5. september 1998 og har nu over 10.000 medlemmer over hele Danmark. Danske Ølentusiaster er Danmarks officielle ølforbruger-, ølbrygger- og ølinteresseorganisation og fungerer som paraplyorganisation for alle med interesse for godt øl, enkeltpersoner som klubber. Vi arbejder for et bredt, varieret og mangfoldigt udbud af bryggerier og øltyper. Vi oplyser og skaber debat om øl, vi stimulerer hånd- brygning, vi udbreder kendskabet til traditionel dansk brygkunst. Frem for alt medvir- ker vi til at sikre en markant højnelse af ølkulturen og at øl behandles med respekt.

  • Ganymede by Bertel Thorvaldsen Treasure from the National Gallery of Iceland Culture House Hverfisgata 5 June 2019 – 31 May 2020
    GANYMEDE BY BERTEL THORVALDSEN TREASURE FROM THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ICELAND CULTURE HOUSE HVERFISGATA 5 JUNE 2019 – 31 MAY 2020 Day and Night Originals made in Rome 1815 Biscuit, Size variable Hólavellir cemetery, Reykjavík The bas-reliefs Day and Night, made by Thorvaldsen in Rome in 1815, are undoubtedly the artist‘s most popular bas-reliefs, widely seen on gravestones in Icelandic churchyards. At the Thorvaldsen Museum the two pieces hang as a pair, as if to symbolise the two phases of the day, and also life and death. Night is depicted as a winged female figure or angel with her head bent and eyes closed, holding two sleeping infants (sleep and death) in her embrace. In the background an owl, the bird of the night, flies towards the observer. The ambiance is peaceful. Day is also a winged female figure, but now embodying strength and movement: Aurora, goddess of the dawn, strews roses on the earth as she glances over her shoulder at the guardian of the light who accom- panies her, holding up a flaming torch to symbolise the sun and light. In the Hólavellir cemetery, other reliefs by Thorvaldsen may also be seen on grave- Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844) stones, such as images from the baptismal font of Reykjavík Cathedral. Sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844) was one of the most renowned artists in Europe of his time. He sought inspiration in the classical art of the Ancient Greeks and Romans, and is regarded as one of the leading exponents of neoclassical sculpture, together with Italian sculptor Antonio Canova.
