This painting is one of the very last painting by Asger Jorn executed in his studio in Colombes, Paris, in November 1972.
The latter years of Asger Jorn's life are often described as a period of new-found artistic creativity - on a par with the years of the mid-1950s. In 1970, a large new studio was ready in his house in Colombes near Paris, and Jorn approached painting with new initiative and a fresh mind.
