Bjørn Nørgaard (born 1947 in Copenhagen) is a Danish artist who has worked across sculpture, performance, happenings, painting, graphic art and architecture. He has specialised in sculpture since 1970, and his large works in public spaces in several Danish towns have significantly shaped the art scene in Denmark.
He studied in the 1960s at the newly founded Copenhagen School of Experimental Art, where as a teenager he came into contact with artists such as Per Kirkeby. Influenced by the German artist Joseph Beuys, he took part in collaborative works and happenings that gave artistic form to the left-wing causes of the day. He was a professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1985 to 1994. His best-known achievement in his home country is the design of the full-size sketches for a series of tapestries tracing Danish history, commissioned by Queen Margrethe II, woven by the Manufacture des Gobelins in Paris and now hung in the Great Hall at Christiansborg Palace.
Among his major works are Thor's Tower (1986) in Høje Taastrup, Scandinavia's tallest sculpture, and The Human Wall (1981-82), created for the Guggenheim Museum in New York. He has long worked in the village of Bissinge, on the island of Møn.
