Description

This expressive original gouache on paper, created in 1972, exemplifies the raw energy and abstract visual language that defined Asger Jorns late work.

The authenticity and dating of this piece have been formally confirmed and registered by the Asger Jorn Archive at the Museum Jorn in Silkeborg, Denmark, the institution that holds the worlds most comprehensive collection of the artists work.

Worldwide shipping is available, with tax-friendly options for the USA and EU countries. Custom handmade framing can be arranged upon request. Each work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Stamped by the “Asger Jorn Privat Estate" and registered in the official archive.

Executed in bold black gestures with vivid orange accents and suggestive red detailing, the composition is both spontaneous and deliberate channeling Jorns CoBrA-rooted ethos of unfiltered creation and primal symbolism. This powerful work stands as a rare and museum-worthy example of Jorns post-CoBrA practice, blending abstraction with unconscious figuration, and is a vital piece for collectors of European post-war avant-garde.

Asger Jorn, Original Gouache I

Asger Jorn

Denmark  • 1914

Presentation

Asger Jorn, born Asger Oluf Jørgensen on March 3, 1914 in Vejrum in Central Jutland and died on May 1, 1973 in Aarhus, is a Danish painter. He was one of the founders of the CoBrA movement and of the Situationist International. In 1936, Asger Jorn arrived in Paris to join the Contemporary Academy of Fernand Léger. There he meets the French Pierre Wemaëre with whom he binds a deep friendship.

During the Nazi occupation of Denmark, Jorn was an active communist in the resistance and participated in the artistic group Høst. He was one of the founders of the CoBrA movement in 1948. The same year he joined the Dutch artist group Experimentele Groep in Holland founded by Karel Appel, Constant Nieuwenhuys, Corneille, Theo Wolvecamp, Anton Rooskens Jan Nieuwenhuys and many Dutch artists.

He merged the International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus, which he had founded in 1955, the Lettrist International and the London Psychogeographical Committee, into a single unified movement: the Situationist International in 1957.

In 1961, he left the SI to found the Scandinavian Institute of Comparative Vandalism (see La Langue verte et la Cuite, with Noël Arnaud, which earned him the title of Commander Exquis of the Order of the Great Gidouille).
