The art and politics of Asger Jorn

"A leading figure of the postwar avant-garde, Danish artist Asger Jorn has long been recognized for his founding contributions to the Cobra and Situationist International movements - yet art historical scholarship on Jorn has been sparse, particularly in English. This study corrrects that imblance, offering a synthetic account of the essential phases of this proligic artist's career. It addresses his works in various media alongside his extensive writings and his collaborations with various arists' groups from the 1940s through the mid-1960s." -- book cover.
