Det danske handelskammers komite og administrerende direktør, 1995 (Danish Chamber of Commerce committee and managing director, 1995) is an oil painting by Thomas Kluge. Called Handelskammeret for short,[1] the group portrait was commissioned by the Danish Chamber of Commerce to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 1895 painting From Copenhagen Stock Exchange by Peder Severin Krøyer.[2] Critics have noted the figures in the painting have oddly proportioned heads and hands relative to their bodies.[3] The subjects, seated in chairs designed by Kaare Klint, were assembled in the chairman's office for the 1995 painting, while the original was set in the Børssal room.[1]
Det danske handelskammer komite og adm. direktør 1995 was one of the artworks rescued from the catastrophic Børsen fire in Copenhagen in April 2024.[2]
