Published by Galerie Im Erker, Saint-Gall. Signed in pencil and numbered.

Vivid, instinctual gestures erupt across the surface in a dense interplay of saturated colour and spontaneous mark-making that epitomises the CoBrA spirit at its most concentrated. Jorn's untitled lithograph from 1967, published by the renowned Galerie Im Erker in Saint-Gall, channels the Danish artist's belief in art as a direct expression of creative impulse, unburdened by rational planning. The compact format belies the work's visual intensity: layered strokes of colour build a volatile, shimmering field that evokes both Nordic landscape and subconscious imagery. Signed in pencil and numbered from an edition of 100, this print captures the essence of one of the twentieth century's most influential avant-garde artists.

Asger Jorn (Denmark, 1914–1973) was a Danish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist, co-founding the avant-garde movement COBRA and the Situationist International. His dynamic, expressive works often combined abstract forms with vibrant colors, reflecting his interest in spontaneous creation and critique of contemporary society. Jorn's legacy includes a significant influence on European post-war art.

If you add something to a painting, never let it be for aesthetic reasons. Only let it be for reasons of expression.
- Asger Jorn

Asger Jorn was a Danish painter, ceramic artist, sculptor and author from the years just before World War II into the 1970s. He was a student at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, from 1937 until 1942, in Copenagen. Later, Asger Jorn was one of the artists who founded the Situationist International and COBRA, an avant-garde movement. The largest collection of Jorn works today appears in Silkeborg, Denmark, in the Museum Jorn. When Asger Jorn painted, he did so in oil on canvas, and over the course of his career he made more than 2,500 total works - including ceramics, drawing, prints, sculptures, collages and tapestries. His books include "Luck and Chance: Dagger and Guitar," "Value and Economy" and "the Natural Order." He spent most of his life railing against establishments, whether in government, the Danish Communist Party or even the world of art. In 1964, he received a Guggenheim Award, but he sent an enraged telegram to Harry F. Guggenheim himself, refusing the prize and wanting "public confirmation not to have participated in [this] ridiculous game

What is Gestural?

Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
