Henry Heerup is remembered for his colourful, imaginative expression rich in symbols and for his charismatic personality. He worked hard to make sure that art reached as many people as possible, especially via large editions of prints. An unrivalled production of lithos and linocuts attest to the fact that Heerup was very much in demand, well, practically a brand in himself. Now this exhibition focuses on his popular graphic works.
