Thomas Baumann at Den Frie in Copenhagen: A Vienna-Copenhagen Dialogue
Artist Thomas Baumann, associated with the Nicolas Krupp Gallery, features in the group exhibition Vienna–Copenhagen. Den Frie Udstilling 2026 hosted at Den Frie in Copenhagen, Denmark. Running from 2 May through 7 June 2026, the presentation brings together members of Denmark's oldest artists' association with their counterparts from the historic Wiener Secession.
Exploring Artist-Run Legacies in Copenhagen
The ambitious exhibition creates a dialogue between 45 members of Den Frie Udstilling and over 100 Austrian artist colleagues from the Wiener Secession. Both historic institutions share parallel roots in the late nineteenth century as artist-owned and run exhibition venues founded independently of traditional academic constraints.
Visitors experiencing the exhibition encounter a large-scale presentation highlighting the enduring relevance of collective, self-organized artist models. The collaborative showcase spans works and editions by a total of 170 artists, mapping out connections between the Danish and Austrian contemporary art scenes.
