The new book Louisiana - Architecture and Landscape by the American architect and author Michael Sheridan, includes historical photographs from the museum's birth taken by press photographer Mogens Folden in the winter of 1957-58. One picture shows the founder of the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Knud W. Jensen in a joyful, relaxed atmosphere with Louisiana's two architects Jørgen Bo and Vilhelm Wohlert. And the other shows interior from the living room of the Louisiana villa, which gave name to the art museum. |
