Vilhelm Bjerke-Petersen F553

This themed auction presents 10 works by Vilhelm Bjerke-Petersen, all from the artist's estate. Vilhelm Bjerke-Petersen grew up in a culturally rich home in Birkeröd. In the 1920s, he studied both painting and sculpture, and in 1927, he was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo. In 1930, he went to the Bauhaus School in Dessau, where he had the opportunity to study under Vassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee. Their influence was significant for the young artist, but a few years later, he became completely captivated by surrealism, which became a lifelong passion and his primary mode of expression.

The second part of this collection, featuring an additional 8 works, will be presented at the autumn live auction Modern Art & Design in November.
