Shortly after Asger Jorn's death on 1 May 1973, a Foundation was launched in memory of him. The purpose of the Foundation is to promote the understanding and the appreciation of his work.

Until now the Foundation has relied upon the support of various private individuals and institutions. We are indebted to the two Danish artists Henry Heerup and Per Kirkeby (as well as their lithographer Bjørn Rosengreen) who have donated graphic work.

In the album « For Jorn », Asger Jorn's artist friends from outside Denmark have joined forces. The technical side of the production has been carried out by Atelier Clot, Bramsen & Georges, whose members are long-standing friends and close work associates of Asger John. « For Jorn » is a tribute to the artist from his friends.

The sale of this portofolio will provide the Foundation with valuable funds for completing some of the projects which Jorn had begun, but wich were left unfinished at the time of the death. On behalf of the Foundation we would like to express our warmest thanks to all the artists who have so generously participated in his tribute to Asger Jorn.
