DENMARK (Belgium, 1950). "Art in America, 1990. Mixed media (newsprint and magazine paper and wire) on panel. Signed in the lower margin. Signed and dated on the back. Attached certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Measurements: 29 x 42 cm; 41 x 54 x 4 cm (frame). The artist himself explains: "How many newspapers and magazines do people throw away every day? How many unread masterpieces appear on their bookshelves? How many exams and old papers gather dust in the attics of schools? For the past 50 years, Belgian artist Denmark - pseudonym of Marc Robbroeckx - has transformed tons of printed paper into art. He creates sculptures and installations with books, newspapers and magazines. His main ingredient is always paper, cut, pressed, stacked or folded. Denmark claims that each page of his work is folded into the smallest possible volume. This reduction of surface area is a metaphor for the artist's search for essence. Currently his work has been presented in a wide range of exhibitions in national and international galleries and museums.
