Biography

Eva Sørensen studies in Paris with the sculptor Laszlo Szabo.

At the beginning of the 1960s she settled in Italy, frequented artists such as Piero Manzoni, Lucio Fontana and Enrico Castellani and, during a stay in Albisola, began to dedicate herself to ceramics. Her first personal exhibition was organized by the Birch gallery in Copenhagen in 1963. Starting from the second half of the 1960s, she participated in numerous group exhibitions and created sculptures for public bodies and museums in the Scandinavian countries. In 1976 the Aarhus and Koldinghus museum dedicated an anthological exhibition to her and the following year the artist moved to Mergozzo (VB). She exhibited her sculptures in 1978 at Parco Sempione in Milan, with a presentation by Pierre Restany, and at the Ordrupgaard Museum in Copenhagen. In 1982 she participated in the Venice Biennale, exhibiting drawings and sculptures in the Danish Pavilion. Eva Sørensen's works are part of the Art Collections of the Ny Carlsberg Fund and the Danish State Art Fund, and are permanently exhibited in museums and public institutions in numerous cities in Denmark.
