Asger Jorn

Asger Jorn 1914 - 1973 Aufdringliche Annäherung. 1969. Mixed media. Décollage made of color paper and cardboard. Signed and dated in the lower right. Ca. 70.5 x 58 cm (27.7 x 22.8 in). [AR]. • Between fascination and irritation, destruction and reinvention: Asger Jorn’s décollages captivate the eye and continually open up new perspectives. • He peels the paper away layer by layer, rearranges elements, and creates visual worlds that straddle the line between abstraction and figuration. • Created in the 1960s, when the artist was intensively engaged with the décollage technique. • Exhibited in 2014/15 as part of the major retrospective of Jorn’s décollages and collages at the Kunsthalle Emden. The work is registered in the Jorn Archive, Silkeborg (Museum Jorn). PROVENANCE: Galerie van de Loo, Munich (with a label on the back of the frame). Private collection, Southern Germany.
