Curated for
CHART

For CHART 2026, BORCH Editions is pleased to present works by Per Kirkeby, one of the major Danish painters and sculptors of his generation and a key figure in contemporary printmaking. Kirkeby was the first artist to collaborate with Niels Borch Jensen when the latter founded his Copenhagen printmaking studio in 1979. It was here that he first experimented with printing in colour with different formats and techniques, including the production of monotypes. His works are characterised by a rich exploration of structures, often inspired by natural phenomena, in a space between abstraction and representation.
