3 Welcome to Bruun Rasmussen s auction 776 In response to the rising internationalisation of the auction world, Bruun Rasmussen s last catalogue was issued in English. This initiative was very well received and therefore, the catalogues of paintings, antiques and decorative art will henceforth also be published in English. Please note, however, that all texts will be available in Danish on our homepage May we add that, as always, our staff is ready to help with any inquiries during the house s daily opening hours. Another new approach is for the house to have the precious stones graded by an external expert. This task has been allotted to Danish Gem Lab as we are firmly of the belief that it will contribute to the credibility which is an absolute prerequisite for the acquisition of jewellery. The size of the finger rings will now be stated, though it is important in this context to remember that by far the majority of rings can be made to fit without any problems, and this is something with which we are always happy to assist. Something truly special: this catalogue will present four sumptuous watches by the firm of Urban Jürgensen. Originally a Danish company of watchmakers, in existence since the 18th century, Urban Jürgensen are associated with the ultimate in technical perfection, quality and design. An account of the watches and the story behind the name is given in the article on page 30. This auction offers an encounter with a collection of small antiquities owned by the Danish sculptor Helen Schou, who died recently. During her long life she lived to be more than 100 she succeeded in assembling an excellent art collection. The antiquities were bought by Helen Schou in the 1930s and 1940s and more information about them is provided on page 96. Also featured in the catalogue is the Greenland hunter and wood carver Johan Kreutzmann, who is represented by four unique figures, formerly owned by the Greenland traveller Peter Freuchen. Kreutzmann s extraordinary life on a Greenland trading station is described in the article on page 94. Also coming under the hammer at this auction are variety of works by the artist, designer and art critic Johan Rohde. These all come from the collection of his son, H.P. Rohde, and many of them can be found in the paintings catalogue, while Rohde s furniture appears in this catalogue together with an article about his design on page 8. At this time Bruun Rasmussen Estates are handling the sale of Rohde s house. He designed the building, its furniture and fixings in 1919 and lived there until his death in This is a home filled with the atmosphere created by an enthusiast who cared passionately. It has a wealth of superb details which reflect Rohde s aesthetic sense. Read more about the house on page 386. We sincerely hope you enjoy the catalogue and look forward to seeing you at the preview and the auction.

7 Johannes Kreutzmann. Poul Holms samling / Arktisk Institut Velkommen til Bruun Rasmussens auktion 776 Som en konsekvens af den stigende internationalisering af auktionsmarkedet udkom Bruun Rasmussens seneste katalog på engelsk. Dette initiativ blev vel modtaget, og derfor udkommer katalogerne for ældre malerier, antikviteter og kunstindustri fremover på engelsk. Det skal dog understreges, at alle tekster vil være at finde på dansk på vores hjemmeside Desuden står personalet, som altid, klar til at besvare spørgsmål ved henvendelse i husets daglige åbningstid. Et andet nyt tiltag er at lade smykkernes ædelstene blive graderet eksternt. Denne opgave er overladt til firmaet Danish Gem Lab i en forhåbning om, at det vil bidrage til den troværdighed, som er essentiel for erhvervelsen af smykker. Fremover vil fingerringenes størrelse desuden være angivet, men det er i den forbindelse vigtigt at være opmærksom på, at langt de fleste ringe uden problemer kan tilpasses, hvilket vi gerne er behjælpelige med. Som noget helt særligt præsenterer kataloget denne gang fire ekstravagante ure fra det oprindeligt danske urmagerfirma Urban Jürgensen, der har eksisteret siden 1700-tallet og er forbundet med det ypperste inden for teknisk perfektion, kvalitet og design. Urene og historien bag navnet er beskrevet i artiklen på side 30. Man vil også blive mødt af en samling af små antikker, der stammer fra den nylig afdøde billedhugger Helen Schou. Igennem sit over 100 år lange liv fik hun erhvervet en fin samling af kunstgenstande. Antikkerne købte hun i 1930 erne og 1940 erne, og de er yderligere omtalt på side 96. Desuden er den grønlandske fanger og træskærer Johannes Kreutzmann repræsenteret med fire unikke figurer, som har været i den danske grønlandsfarer Peter Freuchens eje. Kreutzmann bemærkelsesværdige liv på et udsted i Grønland er beskrevet i artiklen på side 94. På denne auktion kommer adskillige værker af kunstneren, designeren og kunstkritikeren Johan Rohde under hammeren. De stammer alle fra sønnen H.P. Rohdes samling, og en del af værkerne vil være at finde i malerikataloget, mens hans møbler er med i dette katalog, der på side 8 også indeholder en artikel om hans design. Samtidig har Bruun Rasmussen Estates fået Johan Rohdes hus til salg. Han tegnede selv bygningen og inventaret i 1919 og boede der til sin død i Der er tale om en stemningsfuld liebhaverbolig, der byder på et væld af fine detaljer, som afspejler Rohdes sans for æstetik. Man kan læse mere om huset på side 386. God fornøjelse med kataloget og på gensyn til eftersynet og auktionen.

8 Johan Rohde The Unity of Art By Gertrud Hvidbjerg-Hansen and Gertrud Oelsner Last year marked the 150th anniversary of Johan Rohde s birth, but the scope and coherence of his comprehensive production of paintings, furniture, silver and book-craft has remained largely unknown, even though Rohde was arguably one of the most crucial figures in Danish art, applied art and art criticism around the turn of the previous century. Applied art Whereas modern art moved in new directions, Johan Rohde ( ) maintained his artistic idiom in the first years of the 20th century. Even if Rohde s paintings were out of step with modern art, they constituted an important basis for his work within handicrafts an aspect that is often overlooked, because the renewal in his art after the turn of the century is found in the design of e.g. silver and furniture. Rohde s contribution to the advancement of Danish handicrafts is truly impressive. The collections at The Danish Museum of Art and Design contain hundreds of drawings with sketches for everything from key bows, monograms, decorative patterns, flowerpots, lamps, curtain rods for complete interiors even fountains and sepulchral monuments. The same goes for his sketches for silverworks, including jewellery, writing sets, cutlery and watches along with decorations for book covers. In addition to these, there are all the elaborate pencil and watercolour drawings for the same items that are often works of art in their own right. Johan Rohde began to design furniture in 1897 and was soon quite successful, especially following the World s Fair in Paris in 1900 at which several specimens of his furniture were represented. Rohde s furniture is an interesting expression of the encounter with a number of ancient, classical and Japanese stylistic features, reflected in the design of details, the use of exotic species of timber and in a select craftsmanship brought to complete perfection including the decorative intarsia works. Johan Rohde: "Selvportræt" (c. 1890). Den Hirschsprungske Samling. Gertrud Hvidberg-Hansen is keeper at Odense City Museums, and along with Gertrud Oelsner, keeper at Storstrøm Art Museum, she organised last year s Rohde exhibition, ARS UNA (The Unity of Art), at Funen Art Museum. For this exhibition they issued a publication on Rohde and his work under this very title. The exhibition, from which a number of items are now offered for sale, was later presented at the Bröhan- Museum in Berlin. Bruun Rasmussen s international auction no 776 consists of two catalogues, the first part with paintings and the second part with applied art. Works by Johan Rohde from the collection of his son, the late H.P. Rohde, will be represented in both catalogues. Johan Rohdes hus tegnet i 1919
