Klaus Jörn’s collaboration with Stalke Galleri began in the early 1980s, when he met Sam Jedig—then running Galleri Jedig. Recognizing Jörn’s position as a philosophical outsider within the Danish art scene, Jedig brought him into the gallery’s program, which later evolved into Stalke Galleri. This collaboration led to a major solo exhibition at Alexander Wood Gallery in New York in 1988, and continued with both solo and group shows in Denmark.

Around that time, Gabrielle Peretta authored a substantial essay for a catalogue accompanying the New York exhibition. Her text explored the complex dynamic in Jörn’s practice—balancing the weight of his father Asger Jorn’s legacy with a strong personal need for artistic autonomy.

This section presents documentation from that formative phase, showing how Jörn’s collaboration with Stalke Galleri offered a platform for an independent and uncompromising artistic voice.
