The Kai Nielsen Archive
Introduction

Kai Nielsen in his studio, 1916
Sculptor Kai Nielsen (1882-1924) achieved great popularity in the 1910s and 20s, both with his statuettes and with larger works for installation in public places. His almost explosive activity gave rise to a rich network, as evidenced by his correspondence. Collections of Kai Nielsen's letters are now housed at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek and have been made public in connection with the museum's special exhibition in 2024.
