About the Item
"From Head to Toe" belongs to the late graphic series that represent the high point of his graphic work. He impressively demonstrates his talent in dealing with colour and impressively gives free rein to his spontaneity. This work is very rarely found on the art market.
For Asger Jorn, art is something necessary that permeates the whole of life. It is about "rebellion, doubt and contradiction (...) Jorn wanted to disturb agreements, irritate habits, spread unrest" (ibid., p. 44). Again and again he challenges us, and so the attentive viewer always discovers figurative elements in the abstract paintings. Art offers Jorn extensive possibilities to realise his ideas. Throughout his life, he explored the technical possibilities of printmaking, so that it accompanied and documented every step of his artistic development; it offered him the possibility of unlimited experimentation.

Asger Jorn
Asger Jorn was a Danish painter, sculptor, ceramic artist and author. He was the co-founder of the avant-garde movement CoBra, alongside Karel Appel. Jorn was a painter, but also a printmaker and realized lithographs and etchings. From 1937–42, he studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. His first American solo exhibition was at the Lefebre Gallery in 1962. In 1964, Jorn was awarded a Guggenheim Award, including a generous cash prize, by an international jury assembled by Lawrence Alloway. During his artistic career, Jorn produced over 2,500 paintings, prints, drawings, ceramics, sculptures, artist's books, collages, décollages and collaborative tapestries. Jorn died in Aarhus, Denmark, on 1st May 1973.
