The auction's painting ‘Kvinnostaden’ created by Ernst Billgren under the pseudonym Wilhelm von Kröckert was exhibited at Lars Bohman Gallery in 2015. It was at the exhibition ‘Wilhelm von Kröckert: Original Pictures’ that Billgren made his debut as Wilhelm von Kröckert with great media attention. In connection with the exhibition, Billgren wanted to investigate whether all the attention surrounding his persona and paintings is related to his own brand, or whether it has to do with the actual art he creates. Billgren decided to change his name, and for the much-publicized 2015 exhibition, he didn't let himself be inspired by anyone, didn't use the internet or other sources, and all the paintings are improvised directly from his own mind.

The auction's painting 'Kvinnostaden' was widely publicized and made the cover of Dagens Nyheter. In the painting, a pair of robot-like female bodies move through a disintegrating urban landscape in a surrealist dream world. The composition is classically structured with a central figure that creates the deep perspective of the painting.

‘Kvinnostaden’ was also one of the paintings selected to be shown at Borås Konstmuseum in Ernst Billgren's major retrospective 'Ernst Billgren vs Wilhelm von Kröckert' in 2017.
