About the Item
The ‘Porte’ tapestry, designed by Kirsten Gregers Jensen in 1984, embodies the artist’s distinctive exploration of form, texture, and restrained color. A handwoven wool tapestry featuring a geometric pattern in shades of brown, white, black, and grey, it reflects Jensen’s fascination with architectural structure and her refined sense of spatial rhythm.
Kirsten Gregers Jensen (1928–1998) was a Norwegian-Danish tapestry artist and furniture architect based in Norway. Trained at Snedkerlauget in Trondheim in 1945 and at Kunsthåndværkerskolen in Copenhagen in 1948, she established her own weaving studio in 1957. Though largely self-taught as a weaver, she developed a distinctive aesthetic rooted in Scandinavian modernism and material precision.
She made her debut at the Artists’ Autumn Exhibition in 1958 and went on to exhibit widely, both individually and as part of the artists’ association Corner, of which she became a member in 1973. Her works are represented in Designmuseum Danmark, the Ny Carlsberg Foundation, and the Danish Arts Foundation.
In her textile works, Jensen often explored the dialogue between light and shadow through a refined palette of “non-colours,” focusing on black, white, and muted neutrals arranged in geometric, non-figurative compositions. ‘Porte’ exemplifies this mature period in her work, merging architectural clarity with tactile warmth and balanced abstraction.
