10 The Spring Collection H.A. Brendekilde s young woman holding a little girl s hand is shown on a bed of the first anemones in a bright beech forest, as a sign of emerging spring, almost upon us after a long, dark winter. Just like the anemones, which announce brighter times to come, Bruun Rasmussen once again sees optimism taking root. Here, at the start of the year, we have observed positive and renewed confidence in the art market, with increased activity in items consigned to us, and for the first time in 18 months, auction prices have stabilised and risen. I believe we are gradually moving towards a market that is flourishing once again just like Emil Nolde s red tulips! We look forward to presenting our spring collection at the preview in Bredgade. Jesper Bruun Rasmussen Brendekilde and Nolde s spring flowers are reproduced on the cover of this auction s two catalogues of antiques and modern art. H. A. Brendekilde: De første anemoner, 1889, oil on canvas. Estimate: DKK 1,000,000-1,200,000. Emil Nolde: Tränende Herzen und Tulpen, 1952, watercolour and gouache on paper. Estimate: DKK 300,000. Forårets kollektion H.A. Brendekildes unge kvinde med en lille pige i hånden står på et tæppe af de første anemoner i en lys bøgeskov som tegn på det spæde forår, der nu er på vej efter en lang og mørk vinter. Lige som anemonerne, der varsler lysere tider, mærker Bruun Rasmussen igen en spirende optimisme. I starten af foråret har vi iagttaget en positiv fornyet tillid til kunstmarkedet med øgede aktiviteter på indleveringssiden, og for første gang i 18 måneder ser vi en stabilisering og stigning i auktionspriserne. Jeg fornemmer, at vi igen er på vej i retningen af et marked, der atter blomstrer som Emil Noldes røde tulipaner! Vi glæder os til at fremvise forårets kollektion på eftersynet i Bredgade. Jesper Bruun Rasmussen Brendekilde og Noldes forårsblomster er gengivet på omslagene af de to kataloger til denne auktion over ældre og moderne kunst. H. A. Brendekilde: De første anemoner, 1889, olie på lærred. Vurdering: DKK Emil Nolde: Tränende Herzen und Tulpen, 1952, akvarel og gouache på papir. Vurdering: DKK

13 Svend og Inger Aarkrogs Samling kat. nr På de følgende sider har vi fornøjelsen af at kunne præsentere en række værker, der i udtryk og samlingshistorik om noget giver fylde til betegnelsen udsøgt : Svend og Inger Aarkrogs Samling. Værkerne er hver især af en sådan bonitet, at de lige så vel kunne være tværsnittet af en moderne dansk museumssamling. Svend Aarkrog beskæftigede sig i øvrigt også professionelt med det museale, idet han bl.a. i kraft af sit virke som statsautoriseret revisor en årrække sad i bestyrelsen for Aarhus Kunstmuseum. Statsautoriseret revisor Svend Aarkrog og hustru, Aarhus, var tydeligvis udstyret med et skarpt og selektivt blik for de stærkeste og mest betydende kvaliteter hos de kunstnerne de interesserede sig for og erhvervede værker af - heriblandt Harald Giersing, Emil Nolde, Vilhelm Lundstrøm, Asger Jorn, Richard Mortensen, Jens Søndergaard og Svend Wiig Hansen. Højdepunktet er utvivlsomt Harald Giersings Tre Modeller (1908) - et af kunstnerens meget få, tidlige modelbilleder i stor skala. Billedet er malet i København efter Giersings hjemkomst fra Paris og mødet med de nyeste franske strømninger repræsenteret af bl.a. Paul Signac, Georges Braque og Henri Matisse. Lennart Gottlieb opregner i sin monografi om Giersing (1995) fire kendte malerier af denne type. Det er sigende at bemærke, at de tre øvrige, heriblandt Paris Dom (1909) der i nogen grad kan kaldes et søsterbillede, i dag befinder sig på hhv. Statens Museum for Kunst og Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. Udover værkernes åbenlyse kvaliteter er Svend Aarkrogs personlige optegnelser omkring samlingen på éen gang eksemplarisk skarpe, tankevækkende og til tider rørende. Derfor gengiver vi - i tilknytning til de enkelte værker i kataloget og på hjemmesiden - store dele af Aarkrogs egne tekster og anekdoter omkring værkerne. Disse grundige fastholdelser af omstændighederne omkring de enkelte erhvervelser tegner billedet af en samler, der med lige dele passion og viden engagerede sig i kunstens verden, opsøgte, forhandlede og debatterede med sine omgivelser. I teksterne sender Aarkrog venlige korrektioner til kunsthistorikernes udlægning af hans værker (Harald Giersing og Richard Mortensen). Der gives grundige beskrivelser af udflugter til Neukirchen i 1960, hvorfra en akvarel af Emil Nolde blev hjembragt og gentagne ture til Silkeborg i 1958 for at stille længslen efter en Jorn, han i første omgang ikke havde fuldstændig familiær opbakning til at erhverve: Inger og Bedste synes ikke om det, hvorfor de en dag kørte til Silkeborg og leverede det tilbage. Udflugten blev fejret med kaffe på konditoriet. Jeg længtes imidlertid efter billedet og skrev til Skibsted, at jeg godt ville købe, hvis jeg kunne få det billigere. I og imellem linierne afsløres hensyn, overvejelser og udfordringer som de fleste med et samler-gen vil kunne nikke genkendende til. God fornøjelse og velkommen til eftersyn og auktion i Bredgade!

14 CD A S ger Jorn b. Vejrum 1914, d. Århus 1973 "Mennesker mødes" (People meet), Signed and dated on the reverse. Oil on masonite. 64 x 49 cm. Literature: Guy Atkins: Jorn in Scandinavia ", no. 720, ill. p Literature: Asger Jorn: "Billedfortegnelse" (Studio Book), no. 54. Svend Aarkrog: "Acquired in 1958 for DKK 700 from teacher's college professor Skibsted of Knudsgade 6, Silkeborg. He sold the work because he needed a new Volkswagen. He originally wanted DKK 900 for the work; I said I would think about it and borrowed the work to do so. Inger and Grandmother didn't like it, which is why they drove to Silkeborg to return it. The occasion was celebrated with coffee at the café. But I still wanted the picture and wrote to Skibsted that I would take it on the condition that it was a little cheaper. We agreed on a price of DKK 700. Skibsted had purchased it from a local tobacco dealer who had received it from a certain Jorn in exchange for some tobacco". "Poet and author Jens August Schade, who died in 1978, wrote a novel in 1944 entitled 'People meet, and sweet music fills the heart', a paean to love and his best work. It was made into a film in 1967, though it was difficult to translate into moving images the almost innocent yet down-to-earth erotic excitement found in the novel's numerous fantastic scenarios".

Acquired by the Wørzner family directly from Jorn. Svend Aarkrog: "At the time of this picture's creation, Jorn was deeply influenced by Klee. Inger and I were in Bern in 1963 and visited the Bern Art Museum, which featured a section devoted entirely to Klee, and here we saw a picture that very closely matched that of Jorn".

Acquired by Svend Aarkrog in 1958 for DKK from the artist's son, High Court lawyer Franz Giersing. Svend Aarkrog: "In Haavard Rostrup's book about Harald Giersing's drawings, the following letter appears on page 21 dated 20/8 1908, from the artist to the painter Sig. Swane: 'I've had a model for a week and have painted a picture with three figures, rough contours, 'matériaux grossiers' as Cézanne would say, but with a certain vigour in their composition, I hope. I had a horrid minx for a model - gorgeous but unspeakably depraved. I couldn't get Thora, she must be out in the country. But good Lord, are these models expensive; this one cost 80 Øre an hour...'. Giersing was in Paris in 1907 and was taken with Pointillism, thus called for its technique of applying paint in small dots. The abovenamed painting is a good example of this technique". The letter's connection to the painting is confirmed by Lennart Gottlieb in his biography, "Giersing, Maler-Kritiker- Menneske", 1995, p DKK 600, ,000 / 80, , BRUUN RASMUSSEN BREDGADE AUCTION 812

Provenance: The collection of Frode Folkvang, Holstebro, Denmark. Svend Aarkrog: "Purchased in 1968 for DKK from Mrs F. Folkvang of Holstebro. I visited Mrs Folkvang to purchase a winter painting by Jens Søndergaard, but it did not live up to my expectations. She asked if I was interested in buying a Wiig Hansen sculpture that was standing in a corner in a garret covered in dust. She had never liked the sculpture but her husband had once considered having it cast in bronze, and traces of it are still visible though the project was abandoned. The sculpture had been valued at DKK by art dealer Preben Hansen of LIEN near Slettestrand. Mrs Folkvang was aware that the valuation was low, but for some reason she wanted it sold at that price". "In issue no. 8 of 'Kunst' from April 1961, Ruth Munch wrote the article: 'Svend Wiig Hansen. Livskraftens yngling' (Svend Wiig Hansen. Vitality of Youth). The article contains a picture of the sculpture 'Mod Solen' and states the following: 'Wiig Hansen's voice does not issue solely from a barren world. But the tones he does strike are never gentle. His brutal coarseness is an essential factor, and is a basic element of his 1954 sculpture, 'Mod Solen'. This fine piece of sculpture in fired clay depicts a seated woman. Shielding herself from the sun with one hand, the female figure is at once finely and roughly shaped into a basic, earthy fecundity. She represents the best in humanity, and she is completely beyond Wiig Hansen's otherwise so omnipresent schism between beautiful and ugly, good and evil. This compact female figure is a bull's eye. The air around her is filled with life-giving, true authenticity'". DKK 75,000 / 10,000 BRUUN RASMUSSEN BREDGADE AUCTION

25 735 CD V I lhelm lunds trøm b. Copenhagen 1893, d. s. p "Opstilling" (Still life), Signed on the reverse VL. Oil on canvas. 101 x 80 cm. Literature: Wilmann & Brøns, cat no. 191, ill. full page p Exhibited: "Nyere dansk kunst i Viborg-eje", Viborg Rådhus, October 1953, cat. no. 18. Provenance: Dr. Repholtz / Goldsmith Israelsen. Within the period of ca , Vilhelm Lundstrøm created his most stringent and most colour resolved compositions. In a 1930 review, art historian Vilhelm Wanscher wrote: "Vilhelm Lundstrøm is one of the few modern painters who maintains a fixed ideal and who aspires methodically to the highest purity in colour and form." (Wilmann & Brøns, p. 196). The shapes are reduced to what is almost their geometrical essence. And with his most powerful images the complementary contrasts reach their extreme. The composition currently auctioned is rendered in complementary colours that are exceptionally intense and vibrant. Lundstrøm was, by dint of his early international orientation and not least his years living in Cagnes-sur-Mer in Southern France ( ), completely au courant with the stylistic tendencies of the time. During his time and later there were several attempts to place his work in a purely "ism" sense between Picasso and Braque's cubism, Fernand Léger's artistic idiom and purism as practiced by Le Corbusier and Amédée Ozenfant - without doing Lundstrøm full justice. Art historian Finn Terman Frederiksen highlights the artist's efforts around 1925 as an individual manifestation of the constructivist realist trends of the time without specific role models (Lundstrøm, "100 år ", p. 66). With this statement he allies himself with Preben Wilmann, who concluded that Lundstrøm took from others only what he needed to turn out a Lundstrøm. This work, from a rarely offered period in the artist's oeuvre, contains all of the elements that go into making an excellent and iconic Lundstrøm.
