This monograph presents a thorough overview of the work of the Danish artist Thomas Bang (b. 1938). Essays by four Danish art historians trace his years as a painter in the early 1960s, his subsequent development as a sculptor in the late 1960s, and his activity on the New York art scene through the 1980s. The primary emphasis of the book is on Bang’s three-dimensional work and the analysis of the range of issues on which his object- and installation-oriented work has been focused for several decades.Thomas Bang has throughout his career focused on various issues of fragility and vulnerability as physical as well as psychological states. The emphasis of his sculpture is on creating a broad field of operations, where alterations of apparent initial intentions and meaning are gradually established in the development of the work.

Nicolai Tangen has been collecting art for over 30 years. Now this entire collection of 5,500 works is to be transferred to Kunstsilo in Kristiansand. The collection focuses on Nordic modernism  (1910 2020). This is the first time this fantastic art collection is being presented to a larger audience. The book contains two books in one cassette. On 850 pages, almost 1,000 works from the collections are presented. Initially with the main emphasis on painting and sculpture, similar books on photography and art on paper will be published later. AKO Art Foundation and Orfeus Publishing by Inger Schjoldager have worked for more than 4 years on this book production, and we are proud to finally be able to present this unique collection.
