In connection with the 120th anniversary of the dissolution of the union between Sweden and Norway, we pay tribute to the power of Norwegian art to reflect national identity, independence, and contemporary expression.
This auction presents a selection from Norway’s rich art history, featuring works by prominent artists such as Per Krohg, Hans & Hannah Ryggen, and Bjarne Melgaard — voices from different eras, united by the courage to depict their time.
Together, these works form an artistic timeline — a journey through 20th- and 21st-century Norway, from the expressive brushstrokes of modernism to today’s contemporary and often boundary-challenging visual language.
The auction invites art lovers to reflect on how Norwegian painting has shaped, and continues to shape, the story of a people, a culture, and a free art.
