JORN’S WORLD

The story of a great artist

Asger Jorn (1914-1973) is one of Scandinavia’s most influential and internationally recognized artists.

Jorn was extremely productive, and for more than 40 years he worked and experimented with everything from drawings, graphics, paintings, ceramics, sculptures, and weavings to texts on art and philosophy. Jorn worked in a personal and easily accessible folk-based imagery, insisting that art should be for everyone.
Museum Jorn today has the world’s largest collection of Asger Jorn’s works, and through a large and varied selection, the exhibition reproduces the story of the world-renowned artist from Silkeborg.

A democratic view of art

Asger Jorn wanted to make art accessible to everyone – both in a physical sense, meaning a museum had to be founded in Silkeborg, but also in relation to the content, which had to be accessible and understood. He also wanted to show the development not only in Danish, but also in international art, and furthermore also what was important to him, artistically.
There are, according to Jorn, no right or wrong answers when it comes to art.

In periods, parts of the exhibition will not be accessible due to renovation.
