- In Copenhagen Galerie Koepcke was a dynamic and now legendary meeting point for a vast number of experimental artists from allover Europe. The gallery was established in October 1958 and closed in March 1963. During this short span of time the gallery had 3 different addresses in Copenhagen. At first it was located in a former herring smokehouse, Læderstræde 17, then it moved to Lille Kirkestræde 1 and finally settled down in a corner of Knud Pedersen's Art Library in Nikolai Church.
- The story of Arthur "Addi" Køpcke born in Hamburg in 1928, marrying the
Dane Aase 'Tut' and moving to Copenhagen, is well known. They opened the gallery in order to guarantee Koepcke bis Danish residence permit.
- Addi and Tut Koepcke created a space for Danish and European avant-garde, rooted in Futurism, Dadaism and Surrealism.The presentation of - among others - Les Nouveau Réalistes, Gruppe Zero, and - in 1962 - Fluxus accentuated a deliberate rejection of the art scene of the period. Køpcke became a friend of the Danish artist, Gunnar Aagaard Andersen, who had a central position in the Danish avant-garde art and was well acquainted
with the European scene. Gunnar Aagaard Andersen was a co- founder of Groupe Espace (Action
Directe - art as social space) in Paris and Biot 1951.
