Helene Schjerfbeck Leads Bukowskis Helsinki Spring Sale with two masterpieces

In the section for Finnish classical art, a high final price was also achieved for Akseli Gallen-Kallela's painting "The Boat Bow" and within the more modern Finnish art we saw, among other lots, "Old village welcomes the winter" by Reidar Särestöniemi and the works "Panther" and "Butterfly ” by Leena Luostarien, both exceeding expectations.

Tove Jansson was represented with several oil paintings such as "Still-life with cat and hat", and "The chairs". Unique to this auction were also a number of stained glass paintings executed by Tove Jansson in 1941 for the iconic Tullbommen restaurant in Helsinki.

Highlights within silver and works of art included a silver bowl by Mikhail Tarasov, a set of "Flora Danica" porcelain from Royal Copenhagen, an imperial tankard in gilt bronze and cut red and clear glass and a number of Rococo commodes and Empire armchairs.
