AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set:
1. Extraordinary etching by the Danish CoBrA artist Asger Jorn
and
2. Signed & Numbered Set "Modifications" with 3x books: Asger Jorn - Daniel Spoerri – Enrico Baj
ITEM 1 : Asger Jorn
Original etching on wove paper, from the portfolio “Friedhof der Maulwürfe” (Cemetery of Moles), 1959.
Hand-signed and dated lower right in pencil.
The portfolio “Friedhof der Maulwürfe” consists of eight original etchings by Asger Jorn that accompany a novel by C. Caspari. It was published by Galerie van de Loo in Munich, which specializes in CoBrA, in a edition of 200 copies.
The etchings are hand-signed, but not numbered.
Publisher: Galerie van de Loo, Munich.
Literature: Dittmar 225. Jorn, Prints 212–219.
The composition shows a powerfully abstracted, figurative representation built from free, gestural lines and a multi-layered etching technique. Characteristic of Jorn, human forms merge with spontaneous signs and organic structures, creating an image between figure and abstraction. The lively line work and the deliberately rough surface texture give the etching immediate expressive force and reflect Jorn’s interest in the unconscious, mythology, and spontaneous artistic gesture.
The etching is professionally and finely framed, in a mat and set in a handcrafted wooden frame with PLEXIGLAS Optical HC, scratch-resistant and UV-protective.
Frame dimensions ca. 54 x 44 cm

1. Daniel Spoerri (1930-2024) was a Swiss visual artist, dancer, and director of Romanian origin. He is one of the most important figures in object art, co-founder of the Nouveau Réalisme group, and is regarded as the inventor of Eat-Art.
2. Enrico Baj (1924 - 2003) was an Italian painter, sculptor, art theorist, and anarchist.
3. Asger Jorn (1914–1973) was a co-founder of the CoBrA movement and ranks among the most significant European artists of the 20th century.

His works are held in the collections of major museums worldwide, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London, and the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
