Albert Mertz

The Complete Estate

11.11 - 21.10.2023

Opening: 13.20.2024, 17-19

”Hvorfor maler manden altid rødt og blåt?” Sådan kunne jeg tænke mig, at mange her på udstillingen vil spørge. Jeg er ikke meget for at forklare mine arbejder. Jeg ønsker at beskueren skal danne sig sine egne tanker om hvad de ser, at der opstår en dialog mellem billede og beskuer.

- Albert Mertz, 1983

Med udstillingen Albert Mertz – the Complete Estate ønsker vi at markere, at galleriet nu repræsenterer den samlede Mertz Estate.

Albert Mertz (1920-1990) var en yderst alsidig og respekteret kunstner, der beskæftigede sig med adskillige kunstgenrer - fra figurativt maleri til konceptuel kunst. Mertz debuterede allerede som 13-årig i 1933 og blev optaget på det Kgl. Danske Kunstakademi i 1936. I årene 1979-1990 fungerede han som professor i malerkunst samme sted. Mertz var og er bl.a. anerkendt for både sin kritiske virksomhed, sine eksperimentalfilm og i sit lange virke som billedkunstner. Han var medstifter af Linien II i 1947, udstillede på både Grønningen og Den Frie og repræsenterede posthumt Danmark på den 21. Sao Paulo Biennale, Brasilien i 1991. Albert Mertz er repræsenteret på alle store danske kunstmuseer, på Moderna Museet i Stockholm og Nasjonalgalleriet i Oslo, og i større samlinger, så som Daimler Art Collection, Tyskland. Han modtog både Eckersberg Medaillen (1964) og Thorvaldsen Medaillen (1988). Fællesnævneren for Albert Mertz’ kunstneriske virke er opgøret med det traditionelle kunstbegreb og hans ukonventionelle og alsidige arbejdsmetoder, hvilket har givet ham en helt speciel plads i dansk kunsthistorie.
