Welcome to the Albert Mertz Catalogue Raisonné. An archive of works by the Danish artist Albert Mertz whose works will be published here on the site.
Albert Mertz (1920 – 1990) had his exhibition debut only fourteen years old in 1934 and started at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1935. Several years later he became a teaching professor at the same institution from 1979 until his death in 1990. Mertz is recognized for his art critics, his experimental films and in his work as a painter. He was co-founder of the Linien II in 1947, showed with the artists associations Grønningen and Den Frie and represented Denmark posthumously at the 21st Sao Paulo Biennale, Brazil in 1991. Albert Mertz is represented in all major Danish art museums, in Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden, The National Gallery, Oslo Norway and in major collections such as Daimler Art Collection. He received both Eckersberg Medal (1964) and Thorvaldsen Medal (1988).
