The artist Niels Wedel, Orust, Sweden. Acquired directly from Asger Jorn and hence by descent in the family. Just as Asger Jorn, Swedish artist Nils Adolf Wedel (1897-1967) was early in his career oriented towards Modernism within French art. From 1921-22 he studied under Othon Friesz at Académie Moderne in Paris, a period in which he met Fernand Léger. The encounter with the marked simplicity of Léger's art became a turning point in the development of Wedel's own idiom and he later described his introduction to Cubism as the most seminal experience in his life. Years later, 17-year-old Asger Jorn followed in the same track when in 1936 he travelled to Paris where he defined the future of his artistic career as a student at Léger's Académie Contemporaine. Jorn and Wedel's road crossed in Copenhagen when in November 1945 Jorn was planning an exhibition of Danish art in Sweden and Niels Wedel exhibited at the autumn exhibition Høstudstillingen.
