It originated as an exhibition showing new works by Danish artists and now features participants from many countries. The exhibition allows a considerable number of artists to participate in a major international project and has over the years provided the first significant platform for many emerging artists, while also presenting important new pieces by more established figures. Over the years it has included early works by such renowned international figures as Alvar Aalto, Per Kirkeby, Olafur Eliasson, Jasmina Cibic and many others. Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition 2019 will take place February 1–March 10 2019. The exhibition is organised by Charlottenborg Foundation.
