Per Kirkeby - Modern & Contemporary Art Day Sale London Friday, October 11, 2024 | Phillips
  • “Kirkeby's approach to art-making is informed by a mode of enquiry whose near scientific rigour can be traced back to his training as a geologist. Such seemingly opposed terrains as nature and culture, the specific and the universal are approached with an equal sense of curiosity and critical thoroughness. Kirkeby's particular strength lies in his ability to achieve a synthesis that allows for such contradictions.”
    —Vicente Todoli
