Galleri Franz Pedersen

Galleri Franz Pedersen was founded in 1982 by Franz Pedersen, who ran it together with his wife, Eva
Sinding. In 2007, their son Kasper Pedersen took over the leadership after fifteen years in the gallery. In
2019 Kamille, Kasper's wife, and their son Arthur joined the gallery as the third generation.
In its early years, the gallery represented leading figures of Danish contemporary art such as Wilhelm
Freddie, Svend W. Hansen and Sven Dalsgaard. In the late 1980s, artists from the “De Unge Vilde” -
including Michael Kvium, Christian Lemmerz and Lise Malinovsky - became part of the program. Over time,
the roster expanded to include the late Jean Rustin, Jacob Rantzau, Christoffer M. Andersen, and Maria
Rubinke.
Under Kasper Pedersen’s leadership, the gallery has grown in profile. Today, its concept is guided by a
clear vision: to present high-quality contemporary art and act as a bridge between artists, collectors, and
the public - with a particular focus on project-based initiatives.
