Denmark – Scott #s 1190-91, used

Description

Issued in 2001, Denmark Scott #1190–1191 is a striking commemorative pair celebrating contemporary Danish art at the turn of the millennium. Each stamp reproduces a modern artwork, showcasing the diversity of expression and visual language in Denmark’s late 20th-century art scene.

Scott #1190 features Pegasus 2000 by Kurt Trampedach, depicting a winged horse rendered in expressive, gestural lines and warm, earthy tones. The dynamic composition suggests motion and myth while maintaining a distinctly modern, painterly aesthetic. Scott #1191 presents an atmospheric work by Nina Sten-Knudsen, characterized by layered color, soft transitions, and a dreamlike landscape that invites contemplation rather than narrative clarity.

With denominations of 4.00 kroner and 5.25 kroner, these stamps were issued for standard domestic and international postal rates, balancing everyday postal function with high-quality art reproduction.

Both stamps are offered used, showing clear cancellations, intact perforations, and strong remaining color. A compelling pair for collectors of art on stamps, Scandinavian modernism, or Denmark commemorative issues.
