Description: The renowned CoBrA artist Carl-Henning Pedersen (1913-2007) is known for his fabled painting. Now, for the first time in a museum context, independent attention is being paid to the artist's works in clay. The exhibition focuses on the entire color-saturated palette of ceramics from Carl-Henning Pedersen's hand. From his monumental decorations to, among other places, the Angli farm in Herning, 1966-1968, to his collaboration with Royal Copenhagen in the early 1990s. Here he creates a large number of works, partly on faience and porcelain, partly on pottery, just as he performs a series of expressive experiments with clay from the end of the decade, where the figures bear the clear fingerprints of the artist's spontaneous creation process. Exhibition: Clay Keramikmuseet, Middelfart, Denmark (16.05.-20.12.2020)

Den anerkendte CoBrA-kunstner Carl-Henning Pedersen (1913-2007) er kendt for sit fabulerende maleri. Nu rettes der for første gang i museumssammenhæng selvstændig opmærksomhed mod kunstnerens arbejder i ler. Udstillingen stiller skarpt på hele den farvemættede palet af keramik fra Carl-Henning Pedersens hånd. Fra hans monumentale udsmykninger til blandt andet Angli-gården i Herning, 1966-1968, til hans samarbejde med Royal Copenhagen i begyndelsen af 1990erne. Her skaber han en lang række værker, dels på fajance og porcelæn, dels på lertøj, ligesom han udfører en række ekspressive eksperimenter med leret fra slutningen af årtiet, hvor figurerne bærer de tydelige fingeraftryk af kunstnerens spontane skabelsesproces.
