More information

Lars Bohman Gallery started the new season 2002 with a double exhibition by Ernst Billgren. The first part, named 'Ordinary Exhibition' consisted of new works: painting, sculptures, photographs, mosaic, silver jewelry, and pieces of design furniture. A door in the inner room led to the second exhibition 'The Everyday Transformed', marketed as ‘for adults only’. Works from Ordinary Exhibition reappeared transformed with elements of sex and violence as a strong undercurrent.

The bronze sculpture 'Vildsvinsmöte' was shown in this exhibition. Bukowskis is proud to present, in this auction, two more works by Ernst Billgren from the above mentioned show at Lars Bohman in 2002; the sculpture “Vildsvinsmöte” and the large painting 'Hemläxa - transformed'.
