Kai Nielsen (1882�1924) was one of Denmark�s foremost sculptors, educated at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen 1902�1906 and one of the most important innovators of Danish sculpture in the early 20th century. His works are characterised by a strong interest in the human body, simplicity, vitality and sensuality. Among his best-known works are �Marmorpigen�, �Ymerbr�nden�, the decoration at Bl�g�rds Plads and �Venus with the Apple�.

Christian Tetzen-Lund built up a unique collection of modern Danish, Scandinavian and especially French art in the years around 1916-1924. The collection included works by Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Andr� Derain, Henri Rousseau, Georges Braque and Amedeo Modigliani, among others, as well as Danish artists such as Harald Giersing, Olaf Rude, Vilhelm Lundstr�m and Kai Nielsen. At its peak, the collection comprised around 600 works and was opened to the public from 1917 at Tetzen-Lund�s home in Copenhagen
