Louisiana Museum of Modern Art Presents Works by Asger Jorn and Op Art Movement
The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is currently exhibiting works by Danish artist Asger Jorn in the Old Villa and the beginning of the North Wing. Jorn, a focal point in the collection since the museum opened in 1958, is represented primarily through paintings. The display also features Op Art works by Victor Vasarely, Jesús Rafael Soto, Günther Uecker and Jan Schoonhoven that employ geometric patterns, contrasting colours and optical illusions.
The Signal
The presentation underscores Jorn's extensive role in post-war European art through his participation in the COBRA movement and the Situationist International. For curators and collectors it signals the museum's sustained emphasis on Danish and international post-war figures, placing Jorn's boundary-breaking approach to media and categories alongside the geometric concerns of Op Art. The pairing illustrates connections between individual artistic experimentation and broader mid-century abstraction.
