The expressionist, Per Kirkeby (b. 1938) is one of Denmark’s greatest living artists. His works can be seen in the Fine Arts Museum, San Francisco, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Achland Art Museum at the University of North Carolina, and Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York among many museum collections around the world. This book represents not only a chronological cross-section, moving from Kirkeby’s earliest to his most recent work, but also cuts across the forms of expression, from drawing and painting to film, sculpture, architecture, and literature, with the focus being the connection between art and science in the work of Kirkeby. With 150 handsome illustrations, chiefly in colour, and a wide-ranging but clearly written text, this volume will appeal equally to the general reader and the specialist in contemporary art.

This artist’s sculptures are signs, tools, instruments and proposals. It is integrated art concerned with buildings, public space and the environment. Her sculptural works are an engagement with architecture. She examines buildings through models, containing references to functional details such as windows and doors, and she pursues the meaning of signs and behavior in relation to space and matter. In making models and constructions of space, Elle investigates different materials. Elle explores reflective textiles, designs clothes for herself and her family. She builds her own furniture and experiments with colors and constructions of asphalt, silicone, copper, salt, diabase, aluminum, lead and fittings, illuminated red, mat black and more, investigating all kinds of qualities in her daily day.

The French artist Yves Klein became famous at the end of the 1940s when, with the paintings he created solely in blue, he introduced new spatial and metaphysical dimensions into classical painting. He did this partly by allowing naked female bodies covered in blue pigment to roll on his canvases. In his chalk-white sculptures from the 1990s, the American artist James Lee Byars also allowed colour and material to play a central role. The heritage from both Yves Klein and James Lee Byars lives on today in art, and in particular they are fused in the work of the Indian-born British artist Anish Kapoor. With his sculptural masses of red wax, Kapoor moves between painting and sculpture, and in the same way as Klein and Byars achieved it, he is able to activate colour as an element creating form and movement as well as space. Most recently, Anish Kapoor created the official landmark of the Olympic Games in London, the Olympic tower, Orbit (2012). The exhibition was created in collaboration with MAMAC, Musée d’Art Moderne et d’Art Contemporain in Nice in France.
