The expressionist, Per Kirkeby (b. 1938) is one of Denmark's greatest living artists. His works can be seen in the Fine Arts Museum, San Francisco, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Ackland Art Museum at the University of North Carolina, and Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York. This book represents not only a chronological cross-section, moving from Kirkeby's earliest to his most recent work, but also cuts across the forms of expression, from drawing and painting to film, sculpture, architecture, and literature, with the focus being the connection between art and science in the work of Per Kirkeby.
