Asger Jorn - Gouache

1972

This expressive original gouache on paper, created in 1972, exemplifies the raw energy and abstract visual language that defined Asger Jorns late work. Executed in bold black gestures with vivid orange accents and suggestive red detailing, the composition is both spontaneous and deliberate channeling Jorns CoBrA-rooted ethos of unfiltered creation and primal symbolism. This powerful work stands as a rare and museum-worthy example of Jorns post-CoBrA practice, blending abstraction with unconscious figuration, and is a vital piece for collectors of European post-war avant-garde.

The work’s authenticity and dating have been formally confirmed and registered by the

Asger Jorn Archive at Museum Jorn in Silkeborg, Denmark, which houses the world’s most comprehensive collection of the artist’s work. It is officially authenticated by the Asger Jorn Estate and bears the estate stamp of Asger Jorn Estate ensuring full provenance and scholarly recognition.

Sheet size approx. 50.5 x 59 cm 

Asger Jorn (1914–1973) was a leading figure of European postwar art and a founding member of the CoBrA movement, which rejected academic formalism in favor of spontaneity, experimentation, and emotional intensity. Jorn’s work bridged Abstract Expressionism, Art Informel, and Northern European mythological traditions, influencing generations of artists through his radical approach to material, gesture, and cultural critique. His late works, such as this gouache, are especially sought after for their raw immediacy and distilled visual power, representing the culmination of a lifetime devoted to artistic freedom.
