Modern & Contemporary November 19–20

In Stockholms Auktionsverk's autumn showcase, Modern & Contemporary, the eclectic collection begins with a touch of dreamlike charm—two exquisite Swedish bonbonnières in silver and enamel from the early 1900s, perfect gems within a catalog rich in both variety and surprise.

From the international art scene come standout pieces, including Andy Warhol’s Details of Renaissance Paintings (Paolo Uccello, St. George and the Dragon, 1460), Ai Xuan’s poignantly intense Child in Tibetan Landscape, and Francis Bacon’s haunting Étude pour un portrait du Pape Innocent X d'après Vélasquez. Even Tove Jansson's delightful Moomintroll makes an appearance, inviting viewers into a world of whimsy.

Swedish modernism shines through captivating works like Owe Zerge’s American Cabin Boy, GAN’s dynamic Looping the Loop, and Arvid Fougstedt’s masterpiece of New Objectivity, Erik in the Doorway. Gunnar Asplund’s color-pencil sketch of Skandia Theatre, alongside paintings by Ola Billgren and Linn Fernström, add charm and depth. And Olivia Steele’s vibrant neon work Fall in love with your eyes closed adds a contemporary pop.

The design offerings include a remarkable Josef Frank Floraskåp for Svenskt Tenn, elegant sports cottage furniture by Axel Einar Hjorth, premium Danish cabinetry, Georg Jensen silver, and a bold brown urn adorned with a grand Argentadrake. Hans Hedberg’s fire-glazed fruits, a notable Farsta pottery collection, lighting from Böhlmarks and NK, and Olle Anderson's hand-painted prototype of the Confetti cabinet further enrich this unique array. A particularly distinguished collection of silverwork by Wiwen Nilsson stands out—don't miss it!

Welcome to Modern & Contemporary, where art and design history converge in spectacular style!
