„There is really only one concrete artistic reality, namely the actual objective impression of an art piece upon the people. (What the art piece shows, and what the person believes it shows; what impression the person believes to feel - all this is basically meaningless in light of this one fact)".
(Asper Jorn, excerpt from Asger Jorn"s text in the catalogue of the art exhibition Spiralen,
Copenhagen, January 1950)
