World-class contemporary art and design
Scandinavia's leading auction for contemporary art and design is back, featuring international top works such as "Untitled Blue Monochrome (IKB 154)" by Yves Klein and "The Pont Neuf, Wrapped (Project for Paris)" by Christo, presented alongside other international top names such as Louise Bourgeois, Francesco Vezzoli, and Jim Dine. The art department also offers print works by Roy Lichtenstein, including "Reflections on Conversation", as well as works by David Hockney, Keith Haring, and Andy Warhol. Within Swedish art, you’ll find acclaimed artists such as Dick Bengtsson, Linn Fernström, Rolf Hanson, Jockum Nordström, and Andreas Eriksson, along with sought-after favourites like Lena Cronqvist and Ola Billgren. This autumn's auction also features photographs by several international photographers such as the British Terry O’Neill and Otto Steinert, a key figure in German photography, along with Swedish favourites like Mikael Jansson and Helena Blomqvist.
The design department proudly presents two iconic works by the Italian design pioneer Gaetano Pesce (1939–2024): the monumental floor lamp "Moloch" and the groundbreaking chair "Golgotha" from the early 1970s. Pesce is joined by sought-after design icons such as Angelo Mangiarotti, Vladimir Kagan, and Philippe Starck, represented with tables, sofas, and lamps. The auction also offers an exciting selection of contemporary international design, including Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby's "Halo" lamp for Hermès, Patricia Urquiola's "Tufty-Time" sofa for B&B Italia, and Lindsey Adelman's monumental chandelier "Agnes Chandelier 40." Swedish design is represented through a large selection of furniture by Mats Theselius, including "El Dorado" and the "Älgskinnsfåtöljen", as well as exciting contemporary designers like Jenny Nordberg, Niklas Runesson, and Hanna Hansdotter.
