This book focuses on the Roman empress Agrippina Minor (AD 15-59), one of the most influential women in Antiquity. She was the sister of the emperor Caligula, wife of the emperor Claudius, and mother of the emperor Nero. The focal point of the book is a statue of Agrippina in dark green stone of which the head is in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek and the body in a museum in Rome. Both had been found in Rome in the 1880s. Twelve articles written in German, English, and Italian by Danish and foreign scholars deal with the life and the portraits of Agrippina, her influence on her own age and on posterity, and finally Agrippina as she has been depicted in films. All articles are also included in Danish translation.

Eija-Liisa Ahtila has manifested her role as one of the most important video artists of her generation on the international scene. Through the diversity of modern media she explores the topics of love, sexuality, wrath, identity, loneliness, seperation, vulnerability and death. Her tense, but precise stories tells us of human relations and circumstances - some ordinary, others extreme, but all deeply relevant.

These periods have become both well known and highly esteemed among collectors of art and museum curators outside Denmark. The researchers have assembled a unique catalogue raisoneé, fully illustrated and annotated, frequently touching on Danish art’s historical development and offering glimpses into the Danish artistic soul.

An architect and artist, who vigilantly absorbs new thoughts and uses a solid craftsmanship basis from the masonry trade to test - apparently without any inhibitions - a series of thoughts in his architecture and the design of arts and craft. His cultural and visionary ideas are very nicely documented in a series of watercolours and charcoal drawings. This book accompanies the exhibition “Anton Rosen - Architect and Artist”. The book is envisaged as an independent introduction to Rosen, and it provides a series of views on his work. Plans and elevations included.
