Highlights from Scandinavia's leading auction for contemporary art and design

On October 25th, Scandinavia's leading auction for contemporary art and design was hammered at Bukowskis in Stockholm.

The live auction included works by international artists such as Jim Nutt, Ellen von Unwerth, and Swedish artists like Jockum Nordström, Karin Broos, Lena Cronqvist, and Ola Billgren. The design department presented objects from well-known international designers like Mario Bellini, Swedish postmodernists like Mats Theselius, and influential contemporary artists like Eva Hild.

Swedish highlights included artworks like "La Scala" and "The Band Stand" by Jockum Nordström, "Den röda soffan 2" by Karin Broos, "Myrliljor I" and "Mohikanen (Linus)" by Lena Cronqvist, "Kvinnofigur i landskap" by Ola Billgren, and Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd's iconic peace symbol, "Non-Violence."

Other names worth mentioning are Charlotte Gyllenhammar, Torsten Andersson, Paul Fägerskiöld, and Jens Fänge, all of whom achieved high final prices for their works.

The auction's print department included internationally renowned artists such as Banksy, Roy Lichtenstein, Lucio Fontana, and Cy Twombly. The most expensive piece in the department was Andy Warhol's "Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn)," which sold for a final price of 831 000 SEK. Among the Swedish artists, Sten Eklund exceeded expectations with the sale of "Kullahusets hemlighet," which fetched more than double its estimated price.

Scandinavia’s only recurring Fine Art auction for contemporary art and design continues to cement its leading position with increasing international interest.

Consignments are underway for upcoming auctions.
