ABOUT FINN JUHL’S HOUSE

The furniture designer Finn Juhl designed and furnished his house at Kratvænget 15 in Ordrup at the age of just 30. Completed in 1942, the house is now considered one of the finest examples of functionalist single-family homes in Denmark.

Only a few houses were ever designed by Finn Juhl. Although trained as an architect, he gained fame primarily as a furniture designer. His sculptural furniture is richly represented throughout the home. Here you’ll find, for instance, the Chieftain Chair, the Poet Sofa, and the Judas Table – to name just a few. But the furniture doesn’t stand alone. Art plays an equally central role. Works by leading Danish artists of the time such as Vilhelm Lundstrøm, Asger Jorn, Erik Thommesen, and Sonja Ferlov Mancoba were carefully selected by Finn Juhl himself. In line with his vision, the house appears as a modernist “gesamtkunstwerk” – a total work of art – uniting architecture, design, and art in one harmonious whole.

The tour begins in the museum’s French collection, then takes you through the Danish collection and across to Finn Juhl’s house to finally end in the large park.

WOMEN ARTISTS AT ORDRUPGAARD

Ordrupgaard was founded at a time when women artists faced adverse conditions. This is clearly evident in the museum’s French and Danish collections, where the gender ratio reflects the era’s favouring of male artists. Addressing this historical starting point and fuelled by a desire to champion overlooked and underexposed women artists, Ordrupgaard has focused on women artists for a number of years – even before #MeToo. A succession of exhibitions have shed new light on historical artists such as Helene Schjerfbeck, Anna Syberg , Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt, as well as on contemporary artists such as Nelli Palomäki.

In addition to the series of solo shows, Ordrupgaard has presented a number of exhibitions on artist couples, offering opportunities to introduce lesser-known women artists to a wider audience and raising their profile in art history. Examples include exhibitions about Carl and Karin Larsson, Johannes and Alhed Larsen, L.A. Ring and Sigrid Ring as well as Fritz and Anna Syberg, giving the museum yet another opportunity to address Anna Syberg’s art.

Ordrupgaard’s latest initiatives in the field include acquisitions of works of art by Klara Kristalova for the park and by artist duo Randi & Katrine for the museum’s newly established children’s room.
