Per Kirkeby (born 1 September 1938, in Copenhagen) is a Danish painter, poet, film maker and sculptor.
Per Kirkeby is one of the most internationally acclaimed Danish artists today. By the time he completed a masters education in arctic geology at the University of Copenhagen in 1964, he was already part of the important experimental art school “eks-skolen” and worked primarily as a painter, sculptor, writer and a lithographic artist which he has pursued ever since. Kirkeby’s interest in geology and nature in general still plays a crucial role in his artistic expressions, these themes being therefore very characteristic in the works of the artist. Kirkeby’s works have been shown at many art exhibitions worldwide and are represented in many public collections such as Tate Gallery, London; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York, Centre Pompidou, Paris. Kirkeby has been teaching as a professor at the Art Academy in Karlsruhe (1978–89) and Frankfurter Städelschule (1989–2000).

El artista danés Per Kirkeby (Copenhague, 1938) una de las personalidades más rotundas y fascinantes de la actual escena europea. De formación original como geólogo y artista forjado en curiosidades múltiples, con incursiones que van desde la escritura al cine y una trayectoria que recorre las vanguardias radicales europeas de los sesenta y setenta, Kirkeby ha condensado finalmente lo esencial de su atención, durante toda esta última década, en los campos de la pintura y la escultura. La aproximación que Kirkeby establece sobre la naturaleza -esa visión íntima y abismal de lo real que siempre permanece en su obra como incitación germinal y confrontación última- toma en la obra una formulación turbadora, desconcertante, como de energía inerte, transparencia opaca, asentada turbulencia. Es ...
Monotyping is a type of printmaking made by drawing or painting on a smooth, non-absorbent surface. The surface, or matrix, was historically a copper etching plate, but in contemporary work it can vary from zinc or glass to acrylic glass. The image is then transferred onto a sheet of paper by pressing the two together, usually using a printing-press. Niels Borch Jensen Editions was established in Copenhagen in 1979 with the aim of bringing emerging and established contemporary artists to work seriously with print media by producing projects that stand as significant, self-contained works of art. The aim has been to find ways of bringing the essential character of the artist’s work into their print projects. The artist and the printer mutually challenge each other, and occasionally come up ...
