The exhibition In Her Hands. Bildhauerinnen Des Surrealismus highlights the rediscovery of three remarkable female artists from the modern era: Sonja Ferlov Mancoba, Maria Martins, and Isabelle Waldberg, each of whom played a unique role in the international Surrealist movement between 1930 and 1960. This exhibition brings together sculptures by these three artists for the first time, offering an immersive experience of their powerful, space-encompassing presence.

The exhibition is on view at the Bucerius Kunst Forum in Hamburg from February 21 to June 1, 2025.

Currently exhibited at Nikolaj Kunsthal, Kathrine Ærtebjerg presents 'En sky er en pige er en dreng er en kat' an exhibition that explores themes of difference, identity, and the fluidity of gender and body.

Through this thought-provoking show, Ærtebjerg challenges fixed norms, inviting viewers to reconsider what is considered "normal" and expanding the boundaries of human experience. The works on display push the limits of selfhood, encouraging a deeper reflection on the complexity of identity.

The exhibition is on view till 19 January at Nikolaj Kunsthal.

‘The Small Things / From the Lowest Land’ unites the works of London-based multidisciplinary artist Anousha Payne (b. 1991) and Danish sculptor Sonja Ferlov Mancoba (1911–1984). Mancoba, a central figure in Danish art history and modernism, is widely recognized for her affiliations with Linien and her contributions to Høstudstillingen and CoBrA. In this exhibition, Payne’s immersive installations will enter into dialogue with rarely seen sculptures by Mancoba, presented in collaboration with the Ferlov Mancoba Estate.

Our current group exhibition for our 35 year anniversary will be extended till 15 November - we look forward seeing you!

We are pleased to announce that the painting Composition by Ernest Mancoba will be presented in the central pavillon at the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale Di Venezia.

The painting Composition (1940) was created eight years before Mancoba joined the international CoBra art collective. In its abstract style, it is strikingly apparent that Mancoba had already done away with the realistic representations that typify the earlier sculptural work he had produced before leaving South Africa.

This is the first time the work of Ernest Mancoba is presented at Biennale Arte.

This week the gallery will be closed Thursday 28 and Friday 29 March but will be open Saturday 30 March, 11am-3pm.

Happy Easter to everyone!

"This show at Aicon includes 18 paintings and works on paper by Mancoba, handsomely installed against peach-colored walls, and paired with bronze sculptures by his wife, the Danish artist Sonja Ferlov Mancoba. Her bronzes of roughly finished metal, which can recall masks or totems, show the enduring influence of African sculpture on European modernism — and reaffirms that both husband and wife were working in a postwar Paris where a clean division of “African” and “European” aesthetics could not be made. The real urgency here, though, remains Ernest Mancoba’s abstractions. They ought to be in every serious modern art museum: not as a token of “African” modernism, but an exemplar of forms in motion." JASON FARAGO

Kristian Touborg has been featured in conversation on Daily Lazy. Read the interview here:

Sonja Ferlov Mancoba | Ernest Mancoba, is an important and timely exhibition that considers the creative impulses of two artists that were instrumental in founding the CoBrA avant-garde art movement. It will be the first major show in the United States of Sonja Ferlov Mancoba and the second of Ernest Mancoba (following the very successful first solo of the artist at Aicon Gallery in February, 2017). Sonja Ferlov Mancoba | Ernest Mancoba is the first exhibition of the two artists since their Centre Pompidou 2019 show (June 26 to September 29, 2019).

The exhibition juxtaposes a suite of canvases and drawings with a series of inspired sculptures tracing both artists’ heritage – Danish and South African respectively – and recording the profound influence they had on each other’s work. Aicon Art’s show is in generous partnership with Galerie Mikael Andersen, Copenhagen and the Ferlov Mancoba Estate.
