CARL-HENNING PEDERSEN

The Danish artist Pedersen was confronted with the Cobra-group during the Cobra exhibition of 1948 in Amsterdam. He was influenced by the Danish mythology which coincided well with the ideals of the experimental group. He married Else Alfelt who also joined the Cobra group. Pedersen´s paintings have been exhibited in Amsterdam and they often appeared in the Cobra publication. He has been awarded the UNESCO -price in the Venice Biennale in 1962.

Pedersen´s paintings and sculptures are permanently exhibited at the Louisiana museum in Denmark.
