About the Item

( Visible size: 40 x 30 cm ) Inspired by his early training as a geologist, Per Kirkeby made quasi-abstract paintings of landscapes. He was influenced by the gestural works of mid-century Abstract Expressionism and was often labeled a Neo-Expressionist. The artist rendered his scenes with thick, aggressive strokes of earthen hues and glints of yellow and blue; outlining trees, boulders, and figures in black, he kept his work from pure abstraction. Throughout his five-decade career, Kirkeby also pursued architecture, poetry, and sculpture, and he worked on visual effects for the films of Lars von Trier. As an early member of the experimental Fluxus group, he participated in performances and Happenings organized by Joseph Beuys and Jörg Immendorff. Kirkeby exhibited widely during his lifetime and enjoyed solo shows in New York, Paris, Copenhagen, London, and Cologne. He represented Denmark at the Venice Biennale in 1976 and 1980. His work has sold for six figures at auction and belongs in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Tate, the Centre Pompidou, and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, among many others.
