S4E7. Jens Faurschou

In his home in Humlebaek in northern Copenhagen, art collector and advisor JENS FAURSCHOU recalls opening his namesake gallery in 1986, which was followed by galleries in Beijing and in New York. He shares insights on the art world landscapes of Copenhagen, Beijing, and New York, reminisces about artists and art world figures with whom he's collaborated, and a missed opportunity to meet Andy Warhol. Most importantly, Jens defines good art as art that challenges.----------For today's episode, Jens Faurschou chose Henri Matisse's Portræt af Madame Matisse: Den grønne stribe, or Portrait of Madame Matisse: The Green Line, from 1905 from the collection of the National Gallery of Denmark.https://open.smk.dk/en/artwork/image/KMSr171----------Private photograph----------This conversation with Tina Jøhnk Christensen occurred on August 19, 2024.----------We invite you to subscribe to Danish Originals for weekly episodes.
