6 Her i efteråret 2008 fejrer Bruun Rasmussen Kunstauktioner husets 60-års jubilæum og markerer dette med en lang række auktioner, herunder denne internationale auktion over ældre malerier, tegninger og grafik. Det er med stor glæde, at vi her kan fremvise et udvalg helt ud over det sædvanlige. Trods de strenge kvalitetskrav, som har ligget til grund for udvælgelsen, er det blevet til næsten 500 numre. De mange værker præsenteres i dette katalog samt i separatkataloget Trésor - 60 år med udvalgte numre, som indleder auktionen tirsdag den 18. november kl. 18. Med så megen udsøgt malerkunst er det næsten umuligt at fremhæve noget frem for andet. Jens Juel, Martinus Rørbye, C.W. Eckersberg, Christen Købke, I.C. Dahl, Vilhelm Hammershøi, Michael Ancher, P.S. Krøyer og Paul Fischer. De er der alle sammen, flere med et rekordstort antal værker. Eksempelvis er Eckersberg repræsenteret med intet mindre end 14 malerier og tegninger og Hammershøi med ni arbejder. Ud over dette udvalg af dansk kunst fra guldalderen og frem til og med skagensmalerne, finder man tillige et udbud af Old Masters samt europæisk maleri fra det 19. århundrede. God fornøjelse!

7 It is autumn 2008 and Bruun Rasmussen is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the venerable auction house with a number of auctions, including this international auction representing Old Master and 19th century paintings, drawings and graphics. It is our pleasure to present this selection of outstanding works, which are presented here as well as in the separate catalogue Trésor - 60 Years featuring selected works to open the auction on Tuesday, 18 November, at 18:00. With so much exceptional art set to go under the hammer, it is almost impossible to highlight any one work over another. Jens Juel, Martinus Rørbye, C.W. Eckersberg, Christen Købke, I.C. Dahl, Vilhelm Hammershøi, Michael Ancher, P.S. Krøyer and Paul Fischer all are represented, several of the artists with a record number of works at auction. For example, Eckersberg is featured with no less than 14 paintings and drawings, and Hammershøi is represented with nine works. In addition to this fine selection of Danish art ranging from the Golden Age to the Skagen painters, you will also have the opportunity to encounter a selection of Old Masters and European painting from the 19th century.
