Exhibition pamphlet “Sonja Ferlov Mancoba – Confiance”, published by the Carl-Henning Pedersen & Else Alfelt Museum.

Sonja Ferlov Mancoba (1911-84) holds a remarkable position in Danish modernism. Not only was she one of very few Danish women artists, she also worked mainly with sculpture, was internationally oriented, and went abroad at an early point in her life. From 1936, having established a permanent base in Paris, she was instrumental in bringing about contact between the French avant-garde and like-minded Danish artists. The exhibition comprises 30 sculptures and was previously shown at Maison du Danemark, Paris.
