Mirage for the Department of Nuclear Medicine & PET-Centre is the name of Lars Nørgård’s decorative project for the new department at Aarhus University Hospital. The project, which was realized with a grant from the New Carlsberg Foundation, is a series of four high-energy paintings that counterpoint and engage in dialogue with the hospital’s robust architecture.

Njideka Akunyili Crosby has made a strong name for herself in the international art scene in recent years with figurative and interior images that are simultaneously classical and groundbreaking. A donation from the New Carlsberg Foundation has now enabled SMK, the national gallery of Denmark, to acquire one of her principal pieces.

Art Museums of Skagen recently acquired a principal piece by the Skagen painter Laurits Tuxen. The painting, Aftenselskab i Atelieret på Strandvejen (Evening Party in the Studio on Strandvejen) marks a new direction in Tuxen’s late figure compositions.

Thorbjørn Lausten’s work revolves around rendering the invisible visible and giving form to the fleeting. This is exemplified in his two light installations QED and Dissipator 2, which Esbjerg Art Museum has now added to its collection with support from the New Carlsberg Foundation.
