Richard Winther 100 years

In 2026, the Nivaagaard Collection will mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Danish artist Richard Winther (1926–2007) with a major exhibition and a publication focusing on this many-faceted and original figure in Danish art.

From 1966 to 1987, Richard Winther lived in Nivå. This prompted him, with reference to the Italian Renaissance masters, to dub himself Ricardo da Nivå. The exhibition has a dual aim: We will showcase the broad scope of Winther’s own artistic output and present his collection of works by other artists such as Giacometti, Picasso and Max Ernst, which he donated to the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. Winther’s incessant urge to explore and experiment across many forms, coupled with his prolific creativity, continues to inspire new generations.
