This will be the first comprehensive collection of the writings by the Danish artist Per Kirkeby (b. 1938) in the English language. The book is co-published by Spring Publications and the Michael Werner Gallery in New York and Berlin, in conjunction with the artist's first American retrospective, which opens at The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. in October 2012.
This enormous catalogue raisonni will long be the seminal work on the Danish avant-garde artist and Fluxus member Per Kirkeby, best-known for his large, painterly abstractions that recall Scandinavian topography. Also a sculptor, performer, filmmaker, and writer, Kirkeby gets his lavish due here in reproductions of 350 paintings and illuminating biographical and critical context.
With his eclectic oeuvre, Per Kirkeby is one of most prominent representatives of contemporary art. After receiving his doctorate in geology, he turned his attention to visual art. The impressions he gained during various expeditions in the far north are reflected in his artistic works. Polar breeze and gentle lapping of the waves seem to permeate his paintings, drawings, watercolours, and prints as well as his sculptures, stage designs, films, structures, and literary works. The volume unfolds the extent of Kirkeby's thought and creative output: the subtle colour palette of his painting; the structural design, for instance, of his brick buildings; the scrutiny of his own vision, which is discernible, for example, in his sculptures and prints.

One girl, one painting a day...can she do it? Linda Patricia Cleary decided to challenge herself with a year long project starting on January 1, 2014. Choose an artist a day and create a piece in tribute to them. It was a fun, challenging, stressful and psychological experience. She learned about technique, art history, different materials and embracing failure. Here are all 365 pieces. Enjoy!
