Tove Storch (b. 1981) is a Danish artist based in Copenhagen. She graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2007, following studies at the Akademie der bildenden Künste in Vienna (2004) and the Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin (2006). Her international academic background reflects a deliberate pursuit of diverse artistic traditions, informing her distinctive sculptural practice.
Storch’s work is rooted in a deep investigation of materiality, form and spatial perception. Her sculptures often explore the tension between fragility and solidity, combining materials such as silk, metal, concrete, paper, and more recently, glass and soap. With these, she constructs minimalistic yet sensuous compositions that challenge conventional notions of sculpture. Her practice emphasises process and the physical properties of materials, leading to works that simultaneously appear delicate and forceful, structured and ephemeral.
Central to her approach is the interaction between material and space. Storch’s works frequently engage the viewer’s body and perception, subtly altering how space is felt and understood. Her sculptures are not merely objects, but experiences – inviting contemplation on form, presence and the ever-shifting boundary between the seen and the sensed. Through this, she poses fundamental questions about the nature of sculpture in contemporary society.
Her artistic achievements have earned her several prestigious recognitions, including the Carl Nielsen and Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen Prize of Honour and a three-year working grant from the Danish Arts Foundation.
Storch’s work is held in major public collections such as the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Denmark), Malmö Museum of Art (Sweden), the Phillips Collection (Washington DC) and S.M.A.K. (Belgium), reflecting her significance on the international stage. Her recent exhibitions – Slumping (Gammel Strand, Copenhagen, 2023–2024), Glassy Eyes (Glas: The Museum of Glass Art, Aarhus, 2024–2025) and Lasheses (Gallery of Contemporary Art and Architecture, České Budějovice, Czechia, 2025) – highlight a focused engagement with glass as a medium. This marks a new chapter in her evolving practice, where the transformation, transparency and fragility of glass echo her long-standing themes of material duality and sensory experience. Through an ever-refined vocabulary of materials and form, Storch continues to develop a body of work that is at once rigorous and poetic, challenging the viewer to reconsider the boundaries of sculpture and the subtleties of perception.
