This year marks the 75th. anniversary of the COBRA art movement, and our Copenhagen sales exhibition with more than 40 carefully collected artworks, is a tribute to their enduring influence on the art world and a tribute to the Danish Cobra artists. This year our focus is very much on the Danish artists Sonja Ferlov Mancoba and Asger Jorn.
CoBrA
On November 8, 1948, Karel Appel, Constant, Corneille, Christian Dotremont, Asger Jorn, and Joseph Noiret met at Café Notre-Dame in Paris. Later that same day, the CoBrA movement was formed. Even though it lasted for only four years (1948-1951) it is still considered one of the most influential post-war art movements today.
