PER KIRKEBY (Copenhagen, 1938-2018). Untitled. Bronze. Exemplar 1/6. Signed and justified. Measurements: 23 x 28 x 15.5 cm. Kirkeby began working with sculpture in the early 1980s, after a crisis in the field of painting. His sculptural works allowed the artist to explore anatomy and nature. The material is molded into unstable forms that seem to emerge formless. Representation is explored here as a place of linearity, where forms are extracted and retracted from the chaos of materiality, only to fall back into it, as if ordering the bronze to rise. The theme of form is a leitmotif in the artist's sculptural work, with doors, caves, slits and similar openings recurring everywhere. Per Kirkeby was a Danish painter, poet, filmmaker and sculptor. In 1957, Kirkeby began studying natural history at the University of Copenhagen. As a research assistant, he made several trips to Greenland in 1958, 1959 and 1960. In 1962, he began studying at the Experimental School of Art in Copenhagen. During his time there, he worked with a variety of media: painting, graphic arts, 8-millimeter film and performance pieces. When Kirkeby completed a master's degree in Arctic geology at the University of Copenhagen in 1964, he was already part of the important experimental art school "eks-skolen". His interest in geology and other aspects of the natural world was fundamental and characteristic of his art. Kirkeby combined his work as a painter, sculptor, writer and printmaker with theatrical productions, designing the set for New York City Ballet's 1999 production of Swan Lake and the set and costumes for the 2007 production of Romeo and Juliet. In 1977 he published Fliegende Blätter. In 1988 he published a book of essays on the works of Delacroix, Manet and Picasso. Kirkeby taught as a lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe from 1978, at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (1978-1989) and at the Städelschule in Frankfurt (1989-2000). In 1996, he collaborated as a painter on three films with filmmaker Lars von Trier, creating the chapter titles for Breaking the Waves and Antichrist, as well as the visual effects for the overture to Dancer in the Dark. In 1990 he received the NORD/LB Art Prize, six years later he was awarded the Coutts Foundation Prize for Contemporary Art and the Henrik Steffens Prize. In 1997 he was appointed Knight of the Order of Dannebrog and in 2003 he received the Herbert Boeckl Lifetime Achievement Award. His works are represented in numerous important public collections, including the Tate, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art and the Pompidou Center.
