Focus on Woman Kills Injured Man and explain the Display.
The painting was accepted into the 1994 Autumn Exhibition. Art critic Jan Kokkin noted the characteristic Odd Nerdrum style of the work, but also added that it was "somewhat anatomically dubious, with the artificially protruding right shoulder of the man". Both Kokkin and Harald Flor noted the symbiosis between Nerdrum's work and Thomas Saenger's photo art Persona.Following lengthy negotiations with Nerdrum's agent, the painting was bought by the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art in Oslo in 1996, together with Nerdrum's Wanderer Imitates a Cloud from 1990. They were then exhibited as part of a selected works collection. The painting is still in the collections of the Astrup Fearnley Museum.
