Asger Jorn *


Asger Jorn * - Contemporary Art I

(Vejrum, Struer, 1914–1973 Aarhus)
Untitled, 1953, signed Jorn, signed and dated Jorn 53 on the reverse, oil on panel, 36.5 x 24.5 cm, framed

Provenance:
Galleria Notizie, Turin (label on the reverse)
Galleria Michaud, Florence (label on the reverse)
Galleria Benador, Geneva
Pier Giorgio Gallizio Collection, Alba European Private Collection

Literature:
G. Atkins, Jorn in Scandinavia 1930–1953, Lund Humpries Editions, London 1968, no. 827 with ill.

It is said that my art has some typically Nordic features: the curving lines, the convolutions, the magical masks and staring eyes that appear in myths and folk art. This may be. My interest in the dynamics of Jugend style probably also comes into it.
