a full turn-out for the auction There is a full turn-out at this autumn s international auction in Bredgade which offers among other works, paul Fischer s pulsating painting ildløs i skindergade (Fire in skindergade (cat. no. 39). in the artist s evocative painting, we witness the fire brigade s battle to control the flames an intense snapshot of life in Copenhagen around the year 1900. also in the auction is the passionate asger Jorn s brilliant Juletræ på torvet (Christmas tree on the square) (cat. no. 788), which burns into the retina in the same way that the glowing notes of ph s fashionable grand piano (cat. no. 1292) enthuse the most passionate aficionados of music and design. if the fire is not quickly quenched, there is a danger that it will spread and destroy assets that are either difficult to replace or difficult to rebuild. The fire that just passed through the financial art market is, we believe, under control and we are delighted that optimism has been rekindled. We look forward to seeing you at Bredgade! Jesper Bruun rasmussen auktion for fuld udrykning Der er fuld udrykning på efterårets internationale auktion i Bredgade, som bl.a. byder på paul Fischers pulserende ildløs i skindergade (kat.nr. 39). Vi følger brandvæsenets kamp mod flammerne i kunstnerens stemningsmættede maleri, der giver et intenst øjebliksbillede af livet i København omkring år 1900. med på auktionen er også ildsjælen asger Jorns lysende Juletræ på torvet (kat.nr. 788), der brænder sig fast på nethinden, ligesom de glødende toner fra ph s mondæne flygel (kat.nr. 1292) opildner de mest passionerede musik- og designentusiaster. Hvis en ildebrand ikke hurtig slukkes, er der risiko for, at den breder sig og ødelægger værdier, der enten er vanskelige at erstatte eller svære at genopbygge. Vi føler at den ild, der i de seneste år er løbet over det finansielle kunstmarked er under kontrol og glæder os over, at det nu er optimismen, der blusser op. Vi glæder os til at se Dem i Bredgade!

Provenance: The physicist Niels Bohr, Copenhagen. The Bohr family's grave monument at The Assistens Cemetery was made by J.F. Willumsen in 1912. Literature: "J. F. Willumsen - Mine erindringer fortalt til Ernst Mentze", Copenhagen 1953, ill. full page p. 228, mentioned p. 226. In spring 1918, J.F. Willumsen and his wife Edith travelled to Spain - Toledo, to be precise. Here, Willumsen worked on his book "The Young Italian El Greco". His inspiration for the book came when he first experienced the mystical and expressive universe of El Greco in 1888-89. In particular, El Greco's use of phosphorescent light, distortions of perspective and an unusual mix of cold and warm colours proved a captivating source of inspiration to Willumsen. In a diary entry from this journey in 1918, Willumsen describes how this painting came into existence: "And I painted a single picture; the town growing forth out of the red, yellow and black rock. It is at one with the rugged landscape through which the river Tajo cuts its path". DKK 400,000-600,000 / 53,500-80,500 18 BRUUN RASMUSSEN BREDgADE AUcTION 813

Acquired by Svend Aarkrog in 1958 for 10.000 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 above-named 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. 115.

Provenance: Private Collection, Denmark. Inscription on the reverse: "Probably painted during Asger Jorn's stay in Switzerland. Painted on a curtain from Photographer Johs. Jensen's studio in Silkeborg". After a number of gloomy years - both on a personal and artistic level - Asger Jorn really finds his true individual character and steps out into a new artistic light. The years from 1951-52 are generally described as both the collapse and revival of Jorn's artistic world picture. His health deteriorated in 1950 and, in May 1951, he was admitted to Silkeborg Hospital with tuberculosis. The years of hard work he had ploughed into promoting CoBrA, the constant travel and the hunt for international alliances combined with financial hardship and poor nutrition had taken their toll. Jorn was sick for 17 months and, in 1951, both CoBrA and the movement's journal came to an end. Upon his discharge from hospital in 1952, Jorn settled in Silkeborg. His paintings would move away from the oppressive darkness that had dominated them over the previous years towards brighter colours. Both paintings are painted in continuation of the monumental works "Af den stumme myte" (Of the dumb myth) for Silkeborg library, and there are several similarities with these mythical depictions in terms of composition and motifs, where the figures stand out in an archaic landscape with undulating lines and forms. Jorn was heavily influenced at this time by the paintings of Edvard Munch - and their unbroken contour lines in particular. The figure at the bottom of the painting is highly reminiscent of Munch's iconic "The Scream" from 1893. The full title of the painting, which is possibly "The distance between people", has definite Munch undertones. DKK 1,500,000-1,800,000 / 200,000-240,000 56 BRUUN RASMUSSEN BREDgADE AUCTION 813
