Poul Gernes – Untitled - lottery stripes (1965-1966)

The Louisiana poster features Untitled - Lottery Stripes (1965-66) by Danish artist Poul Gernes (1925-1996), a key figure in Denmark’s post-war art scene. Gernes redefined the role of art and the artist in society, prioritizing accessibility and emotional impact over intellectual interpretation. His vibrant, large-scale public works, like the Palads cinema and Herlev Hospital, reflect his belief in art’s power to bring joy.

Though known for his colorful aesthetics, Gernes also had a confrontational and critical side. Rooted in constructivism both artistically and politically, he became a central figure in the Eks School (Experimental Art School, 1961-1972), which reshaped contemporary Danish art. This era coincided with Denmark’s transition from a post-war society to a welfare state, fostering artistic experimentation—an evolution in which Louisiana Museum also played a role.
