The work of Danish artist Per Kirkeby (b. 1938) resists easy categorization. Over the past four decades he has created an oeuvre that encompasses paintings on hardboard and canvas, blackboards, works on paper, small and large-scale bronze sculptures, ambitious brick structures and actual architecture, as well as an extensive body of writings that bear witness to his exceptional erudition. Such diverse terrains as landscapes, art history and popular culture are explored with a sense of curiosity and enquiry whose near-scientific rigor can be traced back to the artist's original university training as a geologist. These are his archives recently acquired by AROS - Aarhus Kunstmuseum in Denmark.
