With each auction, Crafoord Auktioner raises the bar, fine-tunes the selection and takes yet another step forward. Crafoord Curated Mars is further proof of that. Here we are presented with a carefully crafted catalogue of hand-picked objects spanning several centuries and of widely varied origin.
A Danish suite of furniture from the Art Nouveau era, some fine examples of Old Master painting, prints by Linn Fernström, a Chinese shaving bowl, landscapes by Vera Frisén, and jewellery by Wiwen Nilsson and Rosa Taikon. Those are just a few examples and highlights – but others could just as easily have been chosen, and they might sound something like this:
From the Parisian gallery world of the 1960s comes a work by Henri Michaux teeming with richness of detail; a delightful summer scene by Paul Fischer bathed in light; a sterling silver dish by Georg Jensen, a distillation of modern Scandinavian design; and then there is Petrus, rendered on a monumental scale by Åke Holm – a true collector's piece.
A warm welcome!
