Moderne mangfoldighed Med dette katalog byder Bruun Rasmussen velkommen til efterårets auktion over moderne kunst og design i Bredgade 33 i København. Netop nu synes ét års tilbageholdenhed i kunstmarkedet igen at vige pladsen for mere optimistiske toner. Derfor er det en særlig fornøjelse at kunne præsentere en auktion af høj kvalitet med mange rariteter. Auktionen starter denne gang mandag den 26. oktober kl. 16 med design, hvor PH, Hans J. Wegner, Finn Juhl, Poul Kjærholm og Kaare Klint er repræsenteret med fremragende lamper og møbler. Det gælder blandt andet sjældne PH-lamper og to store sæt af Wegners Kohornstole og The Chair. Klint ses med alle de velkendte modeller, men særligt bemærkelsesværdig er den originale gruppe på fire mix -lænestole med tilhørende bord, som Klint formgav sammen med Edvard Kindt-Larsen. Sidst, men ikke mindst, udbydes Johan Rohdes usædvanlige kobberstikskommode fra 1900, der fremstår som et rent museumsstykke. Tirsdag den 27. oktober kl. 18 udbydes udsøgte værker fra CoBrA-bevægelsens begyndelse af Carl-Henning Pedersen, Asger Jorn, Egill Jacobsen, Henry Heerup, Constant og Appel, der sjældent ses på auktion. Højdepunkterne blandt aftenens andre danske og udenlandske malerier finder man med Per Kirkebys Efterårserindring fra 1987 for ikke at tale om Michael Kviums Stay Blind Painting fra 1999, der med sine 2,5 x 4 meter er det hidtil største værk af kunstneren udbudt på auktion. Som opposition til CoBrA står den konkrete bevægelse, der onsdag den 28. oktober kl. 13 præsenteres som en temaauktion med førsteklasses værker af Robert Jacobsen, Paul Gadegaard, Ib Geertsen, Ole Schwalbe, Gunnar Aagaard Andersen m.fl. Besøg i denne forbindelse også www.bruun-rasmussen.dk, hvor flere konkrete værker sælges på net-auktion 944 tirsdag den 27. oktober fra kl. 20. Den danske samler og antikvitetshandler Lau Sunde er kendt for sin viden om etnografica og sin store samling af kunst fra verdens eksotiske egne, specielt fra Afrika og Østen. På auktionen torsdag den 29. oktober kl. 13 udbydes en stor del af samlingen, som det tog ham næsten et halvt århundrede at opbygge. Se i øvrigt omtalen på side 386. God fornøjelse!
Modern Diversity With this catalogue Bruun Rasmussen opens its doors to this autumn s auction of modern art and design at 33 Bredgade, Copenhagen. At this moment in time it seems that the reluctance and caution which has lately dominated the art market is giving way to a growing optimism. It is therefore a particular pleasure to be able to present an auction of superior quality and featuring many rarities. The auction of design starts at 4 pm on Monday, October 26 and features outstanding lamps and furniture by PH, Hans J. Wegner, Finn Juhl, Poul Kjærholm and Kaare Klint. The highlights include rare lamps by PH and sets of Wegner s Cow Horn Chair and The Chair. Klint is represented by all the well-known models, although of particular interest is the original set of four Mix armchairs with a matching table created in collaboration with Edvard Kindt-Larsen. Last but not least is Johan Rohde s unusual 1900 copperplate chest of drawers: a veritable museum piece. The auction of modern art commences at 6 pm on Tuesday, October 27 with exquisite early works of the CoBrA movement by Carl-Henning Pedersen, Asger Jorn, Egill Jacobsen, Henry Heerup, Constant and Appel that are rarely auctioned off. The highlights of the other Danish and foreign works on offer are Per Kirkeby s 1987 Autumn Recollection as well as Michael Kvium s 1999 Stay Blind Painting, which measures 2.5 x 4 meters and is the largest painting by this artist to be sold at auction. The concrete movement represents a stark contrast to CoBrA and the auction on Wednesday, October 28 at 1 pm, features first-rate works by Robert Jacobsen, Paul Gadegaard, Ib Geertsen, Ole Schwalbe, Gunnar Aagaard Andersen and others. Furthermore, several additional works of the concrete movement will be sold at online auction 944 on Tuesday, October 27, beginning at 8 pm. Please visit www.bruun-rasmussen.dk for further details. The Danish collector and antique dealer Lau Sunde is famous for his knowledge on tribal art and his extensive collection of art from the world s most exotic places, particularly Africa and the Far East. A significant part of this collection, which took almost half a century to build up, will be featured at the auction on Thursday, October 29, 1 pm. Please refer to the article on page 386 for an indepth presentation. Happy bidding!

Literature: Guy Atkins: Jorn in Scandinavia 1930-1953, no. 136, ill. p. 330. Literature: Robert Dahlmann Olsen: "Rødgrønjorn", 1977. In this a detailed description and illustration of the painting. Literature: Troels Andersen: "En biografi årene 1914-53", Jorn is here seen together with the painting p. 88. Exhibited: "Dansk Kunst gennem 200 år", Charlottenborg, 1954, cat. no. 276. Exhibited: "Sider af abstrakt kunst i Danmark", Nikolaj, Copenhagen, 1981-1982, cat. no. 65. Provenance: Architect Robert Dahlmann Olsen, Dragør. Red, green and blue are the predominant colours of Asger Jorn s paintings of the early 1940s. Colours were for Jorn an important aspect of his painting but he did not see himself as a colourist as such: I don t really feel that I m a colourist, unlike Egill Jacobsen. Of course, it s all a matter of where one places the emphasis. (Atkins: Jorn in Scandinavia 1930-1953, pp. 35). The style is evidently influenced by spontaneous abstract painting, inspired by children s drawings and motifs from Norse mythology. As Jorn expressed it himself: The composition came by itself. I just began to paint from the edge, putting down one shape after another and so until the whole picture was filled. (Atkins: Jorn in Scandinavia 1930-1953, pp. 35). The auctioned red painting carries the title "Menighed" [ Congregation ], a title that encourages the viewer to embark on an investigation to seek to identify all the painting s whimsical little figures. Especially noted is the interplay between the male figure with several strings to the left and a female to the upper right with several attributes In one way or another, the parties seem to face each other in a confrontational, stubborn way. Regarding the individual parts of the picture I would merely add that the blue-grey mask figure to the far left is undoubtedly a self-portrait, recalling that of other and later pictures.

Ejler Bille develops his own idiom in the 1940's following extensive style experimentation in the 1930's. Bille composes his paintings by adding one little coloursaturated field after the other to create a painterly, condensed micro-cosmos. In his book "Ejler Bille" (Copenhagen,1961), Poul Vad offers the following description of the artist's work in the 1950's: "He thought he had reached as far as he possibly could in rendering painterly intensity, but he now understood that he could slowly and tirelessly focus on a painting and energise it further without a loss of spontaneity. Bille's work in these, his most mature, years was characterised by an ever-deeper absorption in his endeavour to explore colour and the opportunities they offer and of the ever-growing need to create an image where each square centimetre is fully charged with painterly colouristic power and thus offering artistic imagery of evermore intense expression".

Literature: Jan Würtz Frandsen: "Richard Mortensen: Afklaringens år 1940-1958. Besættelse og rekonstruktion", Copenhagen, 1992, fig. no. 262 (front side) and no. 197 (reverse side), ill. pp. 207 and 161. The present painting by Richard Mortensen is in fact two paintings - both created during the Second World War. The period 1940-1946 has been characterized as an intermezzo in the artist's production. During these years, placed be-tween the artist's surrealist phase in the 1930's and his position in the 1950's as a pioneer in concrete art and in international modernism, Mortensen is working with a kind of expressionism, in many ways reminiscent of, and fully equalling, the future Cobra painters.

Provenance: Private Collection, U.S.A. In the 1980s, Per Kirkeby departed from the figurative art of the 1960s and 70s with its clearly defined shapes and numerous references to the clichés of pop culture. Emulsion on fibreboard gave way to large compositions of oil on canvas in which reference to recognisable form was surrendered. Nature and painterly qualities now took centre stage but Kirkeby's perception of the landscape as motif differs from the horizontality of that of the easel painter, which is defined by foreground, horizon and sky. Rather, Kirkeby's paintings constitute vertical incisions into simmering matter; a conglomerate of tree trunks, branches, hollows or rock formations. His paintings evoke associations of forest floors with layers upon layers of nature in process - in growth or decay. Per Kirkeby's landscapes are often associated with the aesthetics of Romanticism in which nature is perceived as offering an image of human emotion and sentiment. The title "Efterårserindring" (Autumn Memories) qualifies such an interpretation. Paintings from this period with such vivid colour intensity as this painting are very rarely seen at auction.

'Madness' was the underlying thematic of a number of 272 BRUUN RASMUSSEN BREDGADE AUCTION 805
the works he created around the millennium year, offering a continuation of the artist's disposition towards the shadowy sides of human existence. This eerie family portrait - a disillusioned cyclical representation of the human condition from cradle to grave - refers both in format and ambition to Kvium's first monumental figurative painting created in an illusionistic style, the Chóros series from 1991. Furthermore, the work establishes concrete reference to Michael Kvium and Christian Lemmerz' film "The Wake" (2000) since the couple and the three children in the painting represent the protagonists of the film, H.C. Earwicher, his wife and their triplets. DKK 800.000-1.000.000 / 107.000-134.000 BRUUN RASMUSSEN BREDGADE AUCTION 805 273
