Biography :

"Anne Behrndt, Karasjok 1979, (1942-2018).

Anne Behrndt has only manifested herself scattered at exhibitions throughout the 1980s, but played an important role for women's art in the 1970s. She stood especially as a mediator of the concept art, which at the time was central to both American and European art. She was one of the initiators of the large Women's Exhibition at Charlottenborg in 1975, where significant international installation, performance and visual art was presented to the Danes, and she herself exhibited a wall of letters, sketches and objects, which against a black background formed a whole of private and collective references. Also in later exhibitions and book projects, found objects entered dialogues with personal notes, nature-inspired sketches, abstract formations and repetitive lines of characters in an idiom where inspirations from minimalism and concept art go hand in hand with the preoccupation of Edvard Munch, Emil Nolde and Paul Klee, who B .self consider the most important sources of inspiration."
