Bio:
Asger Jorn (1914–1973) was a Danish painter, printmaker, ceramicist, sculptor, and writer and a central figure in post-war European art. He was a co-founder of CoBrA and developed a spontaneous, expressive visual language in which abstract forms frequently merge with recognisable or imaginary figures. Jorn worked across painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, and art theory and achieved substantial international recognition. His exhibition at the Kestner-Gesellschaft in Hannover in 1973 took place shortly before his death later that year.
