Bukowskis presents a strong Spring Fine Art season, highlighted by the year’s highest-priced Swedish, Finnish and international works, alongside by far the highest number of million-level sales on the Nordic auction market. The season featured a series of notable results, with Scandinavian Beauty II by Andy Warhol becoming the highest-priced work sold at live auction in Sweden. It was followed by "Hämta vatten" by Anders Zorn, the highest-priced Swedish work of the season, and "Enslingen" by August Strindberg, which sold for more than double its estimate. Strong results were also noted in Finland, where Helene Schjerfbeck’s Music (Ingeborg on the Balcony) became the highest-priced Finnish work this year.

During the season, Bukowskis sold four of the five highest-priced works on the Swedish auction market. New world records were also set for works by Ulla Wiggen, Britta Marakatt-Labba and Terry O’Neill. Welcome to contact us today to sell at our live auctions or our quality online auctions.
