What lies behind the title "Up and Downhill"? ⁠ ⁠ Asger Jorn’s paintings may appear spontaneous and full of energy, but they are rarely accidental. His titles often offer a clue to how we might approach the work.⁠ ⁠ In "Up and Downhill" from 1966, you can make out figures navigating what seems like a wild, rushing current – up and down, back and forth. The movement goes against our expectations, creating a sense of speed, tension, and adventure.⁠ ⁠ Perhaps the painting reflects the creative process itself: throwing yourself into the unknown, trusting your intuition, and letting the energy carry you forward. One thing is certain – Jorn gives free rein to imagination in an explosive interplay of colour, form, and movement.⁠ ⁠ "Up and Downhill" will be offered at our Live Auction on 17 June.⁠ ⁠ Estimate: DKK 800,000–1 mio.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Explore the details – link in bio.⁠ ⁠ #asgerjorn #cobramovement #cobraart
