Biography
Asger Jorn, who was born in Denmark in 1914 and died in 1973, was one of the founders of CoBrA and later a key figure in the Situationist International. His prolific, radical work had a profound influence on European art in the second half of the twentieth century. In Denmark, the Silkeborg Museum, now Museum Jorn, holds a significant donation from the artist as well as two large murals by Pierre Alechinsky and Jean Dubuffet.
Asger Jorn has been widely exhibited in recent years, notably at the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris and the Tate in London.
