Axel Salto på papir
Axel Salto - on paper is the first book ever about the visual artist and artisan Axel Salto's extensive work with paper as a medium. The Danish artist Axel Salto (1889-1961) is world famous for his ceramics in the knurled, budded style. His work is currently experiencing a well-deserved revival with major exhibitions around the country, most recently the retrospective Stoneware Master, which is currently on display at Øregaard Museum. The book contains both reproductions of Salto's many 'finished' paper works, such as lithographs for books and the artist magazine Klingen and a large amount of completely unique Salto sketches for ceramic works and decoration assignments - of which only a very limited part is known and has been published previously. Axel Salto - written on paper by Denmark's leading design historian Lars Dybdahl, who is behind numerous publications on design and crafts, most recently The Danish Furniture Boom 1945-1975 and Danish Design Now.

Secret places
What should your guests see when world-famous icons such as Amalienborg, Grundtvig's Church and Danmarks Nationalbank have been ticked? The architect Marie-Louise Høstbo shows us with this book 50 overlooked buildings in and around Copenhagen. Special places that are guaranteed to both surprise and challenge.
With his creative gaze, the author in 50 building portraits shares his enthusiasm and respect for Danish architecture. She places the works in a historical context and shows how they are created with care in relation to context, material and detail, which dissolves their contemporaneity so that a universal relevance emerges. The selected works have a human scale and appeal to the user - tactile, whimsical, sensory and visual. They are all an essential part of the Danish architectural tradition that society today is built on, and they are all durable both aesthetically and practically.
Under the themes Nordic Light & Functionalism, Tiles & Monoliths, Pattern & Color, Geometry & Composition and Brutalism & Concretism, the author gathers excellent examples from the last 90 years of modern Danish architecture. Details and angles point to new contexts across time, style and place, and for the architecture lover, the city will change and reopen.

The golden age of the image world
Danish Edition.An exploration of the golden age of the image universe.
The golden age of the world of images shows, through a rich illustration material, how paintings and stage images met a need to get to know the story, contemporary celebrities and Denmark's nature, the foreign countries and the animal and plant world: not far from the topics shown in the TV stations' most popular series. The golden age of the artistic universe seems familiar. We know it from the museums' hangings and from exhibitions. But the images presented today are not the same as you could see if you were an art-interested citizen or citizen - during the period between Eckersberg's return from France and Italy - in the 1816- and Three-Year War from 1848-50. The book The Golden Age picture world tells about how contemporary art then took its place, in everyday life, in the theater and at the few public exhibitions.
