As a point of departure the exhibition is focusing on other artists, whom Kirkeby has written extensively about as well as colleagues. Artists like August Rodin, Paul Gauguin, Edward Weie, J.F. Willumsen, Vincent Van Gogh, Alberto Giacometti and Edward Munch are among those whom Kirkeby has devoted autobiographically and existential themes, pure visual technicalities are also explored, resulting in surprising new perspectives. In this way, Kunstforeningen approaches Per Kirkeby in a completely new manner, examining him both as an artist and as a human being. A wide selection of his paintings, sculptures, drawings and photographs are shown accompanied by some of the great artists that have inspired him.
