PhillipsX is pleased to present Legacies of Modernism, a selling exhibition of works by Günther Förg (1952-2013) from the esteemed collection of Mikael Andersen, sold to benefit the development of the Sonja Ferlov Mancoba Museum Pavilion in Bornholm, Denmark.
This philanthropic exhibition focuses on a decade of abstraction, showcasing Förg's work from 1993 to 2003, spanning ten years of the artist’s prolific career. With a selection of paintings, works on paper, monotypes, ceramics, sculptures and photographs to be exhibited, the exhibition explores Förg's role as an icon of abstraction. This exhibition also celebrates the profound friendship between the artist and Mikael Andersen, established during their time spent together at Andersen's Studio House in Denmark.
Both Förg and Andersen greatly admired the work of Sonja Ferlov Mancoba (1911-1984) whose sculptures are also included in this selling exhibition showcasing the destination of the proceeds and the purpose behind this philanthropic endeavour.
