JORGEN BECHMANN Born in Odense, Denmark.
Studied furniture design from 1961-64.
In New York he became involved with print-making and with the “young Americans” – Warhol, Dina, Trova, Rauchenberg. He became a dealer in international art and in l970 returned to Denmark to open the first contemporary print gallery.
In 1980 he arrived in Australia. After a series of solo and co-operative exhibitions in Australia, New Zealand and America, Jorgen’s DREAMTIME solo – show of 32 works at the Sydney Opera House was seen by more than 10,000 people.
In 1987 his magnificent book “MODERN AUSTRALIAN DREAMTIMES” won a FNP Award.
His works included an impressive array of collectors, corporate and private clients, notably:
* The Prime Minister’s Office
* NSW State Government
* Westcorp
* Sheraton-Wentworth
* Mr. & Mrs. Packer
* Mr & Mrs Cottee
* Bank of Queensland Museum of Modern Art New York
What are Original Prints?
They are not reproductions – but original works of art, conceived and created by an artist who is deliberately using his chosen medium to create an effect which could not be achieved in any other way.
Whether lithographed, etched, collage screened, screen printed relief or embossed, the print shows a vitality and clarity of image which cannot be achieved with mechanical reproduction.
The original prints were hand printed by Jorgen and his master screen printer, in very small editions.
Jorgen also hand painted each individual print ensuring that not one print is identical. He added the collage to each print making them unique.
