It has been almost 13 years since the last major UK exhibition of work by the Danish artist Per Kirkeby (1938-2018) was shown, at Tate Modern in the summer of 2009. Now, Michael Werner Gallery brings a small selection of Kirkeby’s paintings from 1965 to 2015 to London. With what feels like the early arrival of spring this year, it is a good time to open such a vibrant exhibition of painting in the capital.
