50 years of art at SDU
New art book presents a selection of contemporary art, which is reflected in the university. 
You do not move very far at SDU to spot a modern work of art. The University has over the years received many art gifts and today has a hefty collection of contemporary art.
A selection of the works can be seen in a new art book "50 års kunst på SDU", published on the occasion of the university's anniversary.
The idea of the book is to present the works, so the reader will have the opportunity to experience the breadth and gravity of the assembly, and be inspired to explore and enjoy the works in their proper setting.
"The book is a picture book, but it was not to lower the readability index that we agreed to make it so. It was from a conscious desire to show that art should be seen, not explained", said Jens Oddershede when the book was published on Monday, April 25.
He is chairman of the university's art committee who have registered all the university's 670 works. In the book, a selection of 100 of the works are presented. The book can be purchased at 50 års kunst på SDU - Syddansk Universitetsforlag.
