The exhibition Louisiana on Paper – Picasso before Picasso features 28 of Picasso’s earliest works, all in the collections at Museu Picasso in Barcelona, where some of the few drawings extant from the very earliest period are still preserved. 

The exhibition shows the birth of the genius through a number of examples that contain the seed of the Picasso who left his mark on most of art history in the first half of the twentieth century.

Poul Gernes

I cannot do it alone – want to join in?

2 June - 16 October 2016

Poul Gernes (1925-1996) is one of the truly great Danish artists of the post-war generation, and for years 

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art has wanted to shed light on this impressive and insistent figure. Outside the

borders of Denmark, too, interest in Gernes has been notable – from Documenta in Kassel in 2007, through 

Deichtorhallen in Hamburg to the museums in Lund and Malmö in 2010.

Wailing Wall

May 27- July 1, 2016

Wetterling Gallery is proud to present the exhibition Wailing Wall by Aidan Salakhova 

including drawings and new large scale marble sculptures.

Aidan, born in 1964, is an Azeri and Russian artist based in Moscow and Carrara. 

She works in sculpture, painting, drawing and video discussing questions about inherited ideas, 

in particular social concepts about women and their role in society. 

By using traditional artistic practice she identifies characteristic elements and reinterprets 

them to convey her individual, progressive vision. Aidan’s works can be found in many private and 

public collections including the State Treryakov Gallery, the Moscow Museum of Moderna Art, 

the Ekaterina Cultural Foundation, Francois Pinault Foundation, Teutloff Museum and the Boghossian Foundation.

Louise Bourgeois

Structures of Existence: The Cells

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art

13 October 2016 - 26 February 2017

Louise Bourgeois (1911, Paris - 2010, New York) has gained a status as one of the most striking and influential artists of the 20th century. Many are especially familiar with her large ‘spider sculptures’ – including Louisiana’s visitors, who since 2003 have been able to experience 

Spider Couple, 2003, as part of the museum’s collection.

It is thirteen years since Louisiana last presented Bourgeois in a major exhibition: the retrospective Louise Bourgeois. Life as Art, 2003. Since then, the artist has become a central figure in the museum’s collection. 

Now we present another major exhibition that concentrates on one of Bourgeois’s most original bodies of work: her Cells.

The name cell plays on all the meanings of the word – from prison cell to monk’s cell to the smallest biological units of the body. Each work is an independent spatial unit filled with carefully arranged objects which, ininteraction with cell walls of glass, wire mesh or old doors, 

create psychologically tense and sensual scenarios.
