Everybody in Denmark knows the Palads Theatre, in the centre of Copenhagen, and many know Herlev Hospital. But few - or hardly any - people know the rest of the 160 in situ decorations that Poul Gernes and his family, his assistants, and his students carried out over a period extending more than 30 years. Artist Finn Thybo Andersen has travelled all over the country with his camera, and with this highly informative guide, which contains 599 illustrations, we obtain - for the first time - a comprehensive glimpse into this gigantic oeuvre. The book is built up as a guide, so that the interested reader him/herself can get out there and experience the various decorations. Of course, they are not situated inside the museums - but one of them might actually be just around the corner. As the first comprehensive documentation of Gernes's decorations, this guide is an important contribution to the on-going discussion about the artist's place and the artist's role in society. ukryj opis
