BRUUN RASMUSSEN BREDGADE AUCTION 831<br />

610<br />

Years later, 17-year-old Asger Jorn followed in the same track when in 1936 he<br />

travelled to Paris where he defined the future of his artistic career as a student<br />

at Léger's Académie Contemporaine.<br />

Jorn and Wedel's road crossed in Copenhagen when in November 1945 Jorn was<br />

planning an exhibition of Danish art in Sweden and Niels Wedel exhibited at<br />

the autumn exhibition Høstudstillingen. In the summer of 1946, Jorn travelled<br />

to Sweden and visited, among others, Niels Wedel in Orust north of Gothenburg<br />

on his way to Saxnäs in Lapland. The three paintings currently on auction all<br />

originate from Niels Wedel's collection and presumably came into his possession<br />

during their joint preparations for exhibitions or in connection with Jorn's<br />

trips to Sweden and his stays there in 1945-46. DKK 150,000 / € 20,000<br />
