Sixty Years of Pleasures and Treasures This autumn, Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers of Fine Art celebrates its 60th Anniversary by presenting a wealth of pleasures and treasures at auction - a true horn of plenty. We are proud to offer various paintings by the founder of the Danish Golden Age C.W. Eckersberg, a number of splendid Skagen paintings by P.S Krøyer and Michael Ancher, significant works by Vilhelm Hammershøi and city views from the old Copenhagen by Paul Fischer. Modern art includes principal works by Danish artists Wilhelm Lundstrøm, Henry Heerup, Tal R and Michael Kvium and well-known foreign artists such as Tom Wesselmann, Mel Ramos and Andy Warhol. Antiques include magnificent crystal chandeliers, rare signed furniture, gilt mirrors and fine jewellery and collectibles from antiquity to our time. This exclusive selection of treasures is just a small reflection of what has engaged us since Arne Bruun Rasmussen knocked down the hammer for the first time. Today, sixty years later, this legacy is carried on by the second and third generations. Enjoy the treasure hunt!

Copenhagen 1802 Hindsgavl Slot. Hindsgavl manor house. Unsigned. Oil on canvas. 38 x 51 cm. Provenance: ABR auction 205, 1967 no. 9, from a Danish private collection. The collection of Frands Hougaard, Doctor. Ellen Poulsen mentions two views of Hindsgavl: "Udsigt over Lillebælt fra Hindsgavl" (View of the Little Belt from Hindsgavl) and "Udsigt fra Hindsgavl over Middelfart og Lillebælt" (View from Hindsgavl over the town of Middelfart and the Little Belt) C. 1799/1800. 42 x 62 cm each. These counterparts are in the Thorvaldsens Museum. The present painting is a bit smaller and shows Hindsgavl manor house. The two views from Hindsgavl in the Thorvaldsens Museum were commissioned by the owner of Hindsgavl manor house, Christian Holger Adeler. It is likely that he also commissioned the painting here of the manor house. It is interesting to notice that Jens Juel often painted landscapes in pairs. A pendant to this painting could be no. 719 in Ellen Poulsen, A Catalogue Raisonné of the Works of Jens Juel.

Jerslev, Pharmacist, Fjerritslev (1953). 5 16 In a diary from 1829 Købke writes the following on the 12th of August: "Started to paint Grethe" and again on the 14th of September: "Finished the painting of Grethe". (Mario Krohn, "Maleren Christen Købkes Arbejder", 1915 p. 5). In the summer of 1829 Købke spent a couple of months at the vicar J. C. Hahn's home. Here Købke flirted with one of the Vicar's two daughters, Margrethe, called Grethe. He painted the present portrait for the family, and a repetition for himself as a memory. Hans Edvard Nørregård-Nielsen, Art Historian, charmingly describes the small, fine portrait in "Christen Købke Omkring Kastellet" p. 112: "Her face is like a winter apple, but with a sweetness, that goes downwards and gathers around her mouth, while the sadness in her eyes most certainly is due to her youth and the fact that the two of them were about to part".

Eckersberg dansk malerkunsts fader", 2005 p. 66-81, reproduced p. 66 and 71. Provenance: Christopher von Bülow of Nordfeld, Møn, Prefect and Chamberlain. Baron Güldencrone of Vilhelmsborg. In his family until now. In 1809 Christopher von Bülow commissioned a series of landscape paintings by Eckersberg. He wanted Eckersberg to paint the manor Nordfeld, but also the surrounding landscapes - including Møns Klint, the Cliffs of Møn with the "Sommerspiret" - the now vanished chalk spire at the top of the cliffs. Eckersberg depicted the cliffs in two small companion pieces: the present one focusing on the cliffs and the "Sommerspiret", the counterpart first and foremost presenting a view of the Baltic (Hannover no. 57). Both views are framed by trees and leaves and in the foreground the elegantly dressed walkers are wandering on the paths in the area. From here you could experience the grandiose and dramatic scenery around the cliffs - a rare sight in Denmark that artists and visitors flocked to at that time. About 1800 people became aware of nature from a new perspective. Not only the utility value was of interest, nature's different atmospheres could be experienced and perceived, preferably at the most spectacular and untouched spots - as Møns Klint - but always at a safe distance, like in the present painting with visitors sitting on a bench and standing behind a fence. It is uncertain, how many paintings Eckersberg painted for Christopher von Bülow during and after his stay at Nordfeld, but the series of landscape paintings was Eckersberg's last large job before he in 1810 started to make preparations for his journey to Paris and Rome, from which he returned to Copenhagen not until 1816. Two paintings from the Møn series are today in the Statens Museum for Kunst (The Danish National Gallery). Two other well-known Golden Age painters, I. C. Dahl (lot 6) and P. C. Skovgaard (lot 30), are represented in this sale with views of the Cliffs of Møn.

Emil Hannover, A Catalogue Raisonné of the Works of C. W. Eckersberg no. 229, owned by Count Bille-Brahe of Hvedholm. The painting is a companion piece of Hannover's no. 246 ("Monte Aventino", 1819) also owned by Count Bille-Brahe of Hvedholm. Provenance: The estate of the late Baron Preben Bille-Brahe-Selby, Winkel & Magnussen auction 112, 1932 no. 12, reproduced p. 5 - here also the companion piece was sold. Peter Hougaard, Painter, and wife Laura Hougaard, née La Cour, married first time Dinesen, Rungstedgaard. The collection of Frands Hougaard, Doctor. ckersberg stayed in Rome 1813-1816 and painted the present work after his return to Copenhagen. The painting looks very much like a smaller work painted c. 1815 in Rome, it shows the same locality and has since 1889 been in the possession of the Statens Museum for Kunst (The Danish National Gallery) (28,5 x 44 cm, Hannover no. 183). The last-mentioned is a counterpart of Hannover's no. 182 painted in Rome at the same time and also showing the Tiber but here with the Ponte Rotto bridge in 30 the foreground and the Mount Aventine in the background, also owned by the Statens Museum for Kunst since 1909. It seems Bille-Brahe commissioned two slightly larger versions of the two views of the Tiber. Bille-Brahe's "Mount Aventine" painting is very close to the earlier painting at the Statens Museum for Kunst, only a few alterations in the group of figures in the foreground have been made. In the present version of the "Castel St. Angelo" motif Eckersberg has incorporated more Roman street life and a small anecdote, than in the smaller painting at the Statens Museum for Kunst. A young Italian girl is washing clothes in the fountain "Fontana della Barchetta" to the left, while following the couple in the foreground, who are having a proper southern quarrel, closely. The intention with Eckersberg’s stay in Rome was to improve his history painting. But the Roman architecture captured his interest and he decided to paint some of the greatest views of Rome instead, while focusing on the architecture and precision in colour, form and lines. (Peter Michael Hornung og Kasper Monrad, "C. W. Eckersberg - dansk malerkunsts fader", 2005 from p. 132).

Miss Charlotte Dorothea Biehl (1731-1788) was by her friend, Johan von Bülow, asked to write about her time and nearest past in a row of letters for him only. The letters were published in 1865 and were interesting, because Miss Biehl was very well-informed about the conditions of her time, especially at Court. For a period she lived at Charlottenborg, where also the Crown Prince resided, and there she made her observations: "Especially I remember the last Christmas Eve. The Princess was standing in her room and the Prince came to her with a plate full of cherries ... But how did they eat them? She held the stalk in her mouth, so he had to eat the cherry from her lips, and she got hers in the same way from his lips". This text gave Marstrand the inspiration for his colourful romantic painting. Karl Madsen, "Wilhelm Marstrand", 1905 p. 382. DKK 150.000 / € 20.000 18 Wilhelm Marstrand b.

S. Ingemann, the Hymn Writer and Clergyman, Marstrand went to a service where "The Parable of the Great Supper" was the text of the day. The painting here is a preliminary work for the large painting (190 x 280 cm) now in the Statens Museum for Kunst (The Danish National Gallery). It took Marstrand about 10 years to complete the painting. It was bought by the museum when it was first exhibited at Charlottenborg in 1869. People were carried away by the way he represented the topic. The smaller version here is a finished painting very similar to the version in the museum. St. Luke's Gospel tells us the story about a rich man who invites his friends for dinner. Everyone has an excuse not to come. It makes him angry and he asks his servants to go into town and invite the poor, the blind and other disabled people for dinner. Inspiration for the composition of this painting is "Levi's Feast" by Paolo Veronese in Venice. The painting is dominated by a hall supported by Corinthian columns. The host welcomes his guests, among others a poor shepherd and a blind helped to the table by a child. The dregs of society are enjoying the well-provided tables. A mother and her children are seen at a table to the left and to the right is another mother with all her children inspecting the delicacies. Music is played and there is a nice view of the market place and the mountains in the background. Wilhelm Marstrand wanted to depict "The ideal love of mankind". It is a kind of testament: showing his humanistic outlook through the painting.

In his family until now. In 1809 Christopher von Bülow commissioned a series of landscape paintings by Eckersberg. He wanted Eckersberg to paint the manor Nordfeld, but also the surrounding landscape - including Møns Klint, the Cliffs of Møn. Eckersberg depicted the manor and surroundings in a couple of paintings from the gardens, but he also painted the manor and in a quite untraditional way not focusing on the house itself, which is seen from a distance and almost hidden behind trees, but on the landscape. It is uncertain, how many paintings Eckersberg painted for Christopher von Bülow during and after his stay at Nordfeld, but the series of landscape paintings was Eckersberg's last large job before he in 1810 started to make preparations for his journey to Paris and Rome, from which he returned to Copenhagen not until 1816. Two paintings from the Møn series are today in the Statens Museum for Kunst (The Danish National Gallery).

Not many Danish painters had the ability, like P. C. Skovgaard, to paint the magnificent and dramatic Danish nature. A very good example of this can been seen in the present painting from the Cliffs of Møn. P. C. Skovgaard was very fascinated by the nature of Møn and he often returned to this specific place with the vertical white cliffs, and from there he painted a number of sketches as well as minor and larger paintings as this one. In 2007 a storm unfortunately damaged the cliffs so this specific view is no longer to be seen. P. C. Skovgaard visited Møn for the first time in 1842. The Art Historian N. L. Høyen and P. C. Skovgaard had a long correspondence about the Cliffs of Møn. Høyen described the area with enthusiasm and told Skovgaard that many picturesque motifs were to be found here. He compared the cliffs with the marble palaces painted by Paulo Veronese. Høyen accentuated the special light appearing in the sea and the sky, and mentioned that the light here, more than anywhere else in Denmark, reminded him of the light in Southern Europe. Høyen’s recommendations prompted P. C. Skovgaard to experience the landscape himself and he was overwhelmed. It was not an easy task to paint the enormous cliffs and integrate them into the surroundings - the sky, sea and beach. For a long time Skovgaard was unsure of how to paint the cliffs until one day, while walking on the beach, it suddenly occured to him from where and how to paint them. He decided to paint them seen from the beach, by doing this the cliffs became even more impressive and by a clever use of sunlight and shadow in the painting he gave the cliffs more facets. A smaller painting with a similar subject can be seen in Fuglsang Kunstmuseum, Lolland. Two other well-known Golden Age painters, C. W. Eckersberg (lot 7) and I. C. Dahl (lot 6), are represented in this sale with views of the Cliffs of Møn.

In the late 1870s Krøyer studied in Paris under Léon Bonnat and became influenced by the naturalist plein-air school of painting, especially by its emphasis on colour and light. In 1882 Krøyer visited Skagen for the first time and found this desert between two seas an ideal place to study the qualities of colour and light. Besides his great interest in and ability to paint sand, water and the outdoor atmosphere Krøyer also was a brilliant painter of figures. He often painted himself, his wife Marie or local women and fishermen walking or sitting on the beach. When children were his theme, he usually painted them naked and bathing like the children seen in the background of this painting. Not very often are they just sitting like in this piece. Maybe these two boys on summer holiday from Copenhagen are watching the local fishermen leaving or returning from fishing?

In Krøyer's early years in Skagen he and Marie rented a modest house owned by a local woman, Mrs. Bentsen. The painter Viggo Johansen had rented it before and later Laurits Tuxen took over. (Today the house is better known as The Tuxen villa). The house already had large studio windows so it was perfect for P. S. Krøyer who immediately set up his studio and started to paint. The most well-known painting from this early period is Marie Krøyer and the hunting dog Rap by moonlight on Skagen beach.

Marie Dinesen (to the left) and Anna Bitsch (née Saxild) strolling along Skagen Nordstand in the sunset. Signed and dated Mich. Ancher 07. Oil on canvas. 79 x 111 cm. Michael Ancher worked with the charming motif of the ladies on the beach several times. In 2006 Bruun Rasmussen sold two smaller versions from 1905 and 1908. The early one showing only Marie Dinesen on the beach, the later one both ladies - here Anna Bitsch is wearing her hat instead of carrying it in her right hand as in the present work. The painting here easily compares to works of P. S. Krøyer with beautiful women in summer dresses strolling on the beach in the sunlight or in the evening atmosphere, The "l'heure bleu". Ancher displays how skilfully he handles the colours, the light and the composition and manages to create nothing less than the essence of the Skagen feeling. Ancher is especially known for his paintings of the local people of Skagen, first and foremost fishermen and their wifes, but as time went by he started to include young and well-dressed women from the middle classes. At the end of the 19th century Skagen became a popular place for wealthy Copenhageners to spend their summer holidays. The well-off summer guests now both appeared in the paintings and bought them as souvenirs reminding them of warm and happy days in Skagen.

"The drowned fisherman" is a principal work of Ancher's and one of the most popular and also the largest painting he ever painted (212 x 289 cm) - now at Skagens Museum. Ancher painted several sketches of the painting and this is one of the most finished with many fine details and very close to the final, large version. Ancher worked a long time with several compositions for this work. Ancher is first and foremost a painter of man and the daily life of the local fishermen and their families with the rough sea as the worst enemy. The drowned fisherman is surrounded by family and colleagues all resigned in silent grief.

Exhibited: Kunstforeningen, "Arbejder af Vilhelm Hammershøi", 1916 no. 111. Provenance: Bought by Kunstforeningen 1894. Later in the collection of Alfred Bramsen. Bramsen was a very dear friend and the painter's patron. In an interview given to the magazine "Hjemmet" (Home) in 1909 Hammershøi states: "If people would only recognize that a few good pieces of furniture in a room gives a far more beautiful and fine look than do many mediocre things". And further: "And if you could just get rid of all the "rubbish" - what a gain it would be for the look of the homes!". (Paul Vad, "Hammershøi", 1988, p. 402-403). This "matter of fact" statement does not at first reveal any deep metaphysical reflections concerning the interior decoration of Hammershøi's home. However the "naked" unostentatiousness is essential in the fascination that Hammershøi's art arouses. Time has stopped and the moment seems frozen as when you go off into a trance. Hammershøi has been internationally famous for a long time. Recently the British Comedian, Actor and Globetrotter Michael Palin has sought the key to understanding Hammershøi's art. ("Michael Palin and the Mystery of Hammershøi", BBC 2005). Along with so many others Palin is fascinated with the "mysterious" silence in Hammershøi's paintings.

Copenhagen 1864, d. s. p. 1916 A nude woman laying on a bed. Signed V. H. Oil on canvas mounted on cardboard. 35 x 45 cm. In the few cases Hammershøi depicted nudes they were preferably seated or standing – never reclined. The painting carries no date but is presumably painted very early in Hammershøi’s oeuvre, perhaps even as a nude study, perhaps on his first journey to Paris in 1889 judging by the influence of the French style. The painting thus seems to indicate an early stage of Hammershøi’s production while at the same time pointing to a later epoch in art history, in that the somewhat contorted, bony female nude could boldly be interpreted as resembling those rendered a century later by the German-born British painter Lucian Freud (b. 1922). However, the averted face, the somewhat freehanded brushwork on the grey back wall, and not least the small painting hanging high on the wall above the bed are very typical Hammershøi features. Only few other painters would think of placing a small picture in the room at this exact spot on the wall and few other painters would include such an image in a painting where, indeed, the focus is on the model rather than the interior.

The sculpture was financed by the brewer Carl Jacobsen. Originally Jacobsen's plan was to place the sculpture in an artificial waterbasin surrounded by an arrangement of flowers. But after some time, Edvard Eriksen managed to talk Jacobsen into placing the mermaid in a more natural surrounding on a rock by the seaside. The figure is executed in three different sizes, of which this one is half the size of the original sculpture, thereby making it the largest of the three bronze-variations excluding the one in 4/5 size displayed in Osaka, Japan. In accordance with the artist's testament no subsequent copies were to be made in the same size as “The Little Mermaid” on Langelinie.

Liljefors had an intimate knowledge of countryside and wildlife and the relationship between the two.

[original: Forstår du, det drejer sig om at komme op i lyset.] In this there lies a proclamation of the change his art underwent in relation to colour, the first steps of which were taken in his pictures from 1937. Suddenly images were saturated with strong light. An example is his composition shown on page 254 (this painting). The intense orange of the table edge and the unadulterated cadmium red of the under frame of the table are powerfully complemented by all the blue, which is still the predominant hue but which in more ethereal form adds a flowing sense of glow to the white housewares: good old-fashioned classics such as the French enamel and faience jugs above the fruit dish. The plastics of the shapes are still a style feature although less predominant. The shadows indicate several light sources and express a sense of uncertainty as to whether they wish to remain caretakers of classical order or whether they aspire to the liberties of abstract composition. A new era has been heralded; one characterised, not only for its sentiments, as being colourful'".

Oil on canvas. 198 x 230 cm. Exhibited: “Heerup 1940-45”, Heerup Museum, Rødovre, February – May 2005. Provenance: Purchased in person from the artist by the current owner’s father in the early 1950s. Not previously offered for sale. The current owner’s father was a friend of Johan Møller-Nielsen, a folk high school teacher and later arts critic at the Danish daily newspapers Socialdemokraten and Aktuelt. The two friends often visited Heerup in his allotment garden in Rødovre. During one of these visits, the current owner’s father saw the painting hanging outdoors under an overhang, which he thought was a shame. Despite clear instructions from his wife not to buy paintings, since their means were limited, the canvas was rolled up and taken home by the two men travelling by train. The price was DKK 300, which was the equivalent of one month’s wage for the purchaser, who was a newly graduated officer with the Civil Defence. “Livsfrise” [‘Life Frieze’] (1941), which until now has been in private possession and, as far as can be established, has only been on public display once, can with good reason be considered an ‘unknown’ principal work by Henry Heerup. The monumental painting, which features a central female/womb symbol, is an effervescent orchestration of almost all of Heerup’s later so celebrated motifs, symbols and themes: the heart, the cross, the wheel of life and the foetus, which are symbols of fertility, life and death, good and evil, love and war, edification and destruction. 110 As so often with Heerup’s art, life-embracing, humane values are given prominence and weight. The highly ornamental composition reflects Heerup’s declared admiration of the Jelling Stone and the artisitc heritage of the Viking Age and medieval times, which also preoccupied Asger Jorn all through the wartime years and onwards. Jorn saw Nordic artistic tradition as being in opposition to the dominant classical European style. In an article in the periodical “Helhesten” from 1944, Heerup voiced the same opinion: “Den Folkelige Kunst har i Al sin Enkelhed Ornamentet som Grundform” [“Folk art has in all its simplicity the ornament as its basic form.”]. “Livsfrise” is a uniquely splendid example of Heerup’s seminal and deeply original contribution to the development of abstract art in Denmark and Europe of the 1940s. 1941, the year the painting was conceived, was the exact same year Heerup became a member of the artist’s association “Corner- Og Høstudstillingen”, which was the forerunner of the European CoBrA movement. It was also the year in which the periodical “Helhesten”, the principal voice of early abstract-expressionism in Denmark, was issued with a cover drawing by Heerup. The major Heerup exhibition in 2003 at the ARKEN Museum of Art, Denmark, highlighted the vitalism and life-affirming allegories of fertility that characterised Heerup’s oeuvre. “Livsfrise” (1941) is in size, ambition, complexity and execution comparable to the principal work of the exhibition featured on the cover of the catalogue “Figurkomposition (Sindbillede)” [‘Figure Composition (Emblem)’] (1942), which at Bruun Rasmussen fetched a record price for a Heerup painting in 1996.

The stage is set and the evening performance is about to begin. A ballerina prepares herself behind the curtain. A clown gets dressed and a little dog is sitting ready in his red uniform. The audience is a motley assembly of individuals, including society ladies to lonely workers, but they all share an enthusiasm for the evening's amusement. The painting is humorous but at the same time offers a very reflective depiction of "the circus of life", which Storm P defined with the following words: "Life is a circus. You make your entry, bow and run around - and then leave!" The circus of life or the circle of life, if you prefer is the theme of this painting. For in the eyes of the arts, the circus ring is a mirror of life: "with the only difference that outside the circus everything is taken seriously. At least in the circus ring performers know they are clowns and buffoons, players in a grotesque game." The following witty dialogue in one of his comic strips, entitled "Fluer" ["Flies"], echoes this notion: "Isn't being a clown a peculiar occupation? No, not when you know you're one!"

Therefore this pastel could not be executed until 1938. Ulla (Putte) Stenman (later Ulla Fock) may refer to Gösta Stenman's daughter.

It did however then not receive undivided recoqnition among the critics, but today most agreee that it is among his masterpieces. At the 1949 exhibtion Finn Juhl showed, that in shaping the wooden frame of the chair, he had been inspired by the shapes of weapons and everyday utensils of indigenous people. If that was, why the chair got its name is unknown. Finn Juhl has himself told, that a journalist at the opening of the 1949 Exhibtion, had asked him, since the Danish King Frederik IX had sat in the chair, if the chair now should be called "The Kings Chair". Finn Juhl had found that too pretentious, and replied "You should rather call it a Chieftain Chair" , which the Jounalist then did". DKK 300.000 / € 40.000 BRUUN RASMUSSEN TRÉSOR 109 CD Tove og Edv.

This year, it was a sligthly rococoish chest of drawers which attracted the most attention" and : "As a little extra treat the Kindt-Larsens exhibited a striped chest of drawers made of different kinds of wood - a very graceful affair...".

Jacob Hermann’s works as a designer are characterized by an internal tension between a sensitive artistic mind and a delicate understanding of the craft of cabinetmaking. Jacob Hermann only designed and made/had made few pieces of furniture. His designs span from classical English inspired models in the tradition of Kaare Klint to pieces which in their execution and form point more to contemporary Peder Moos, but where the design language has a more powerful "nature" appearance. It can propably best be compared to the pieces by Nakashima. The bench is a unique piece that Jacob Hermann personally made for his partner and girlfriend Birthe.

Oil on canvas. 20 x 20 cm. Provenance: Sydney Janis Gallery, New York (numbered # 12292 on a gallery label on the reverse). Provenance: Private Collection. Between 1965 and 1970, Tom Wesselmann continuously worked on a series of paintings called the "Bedroom Series". Here the artist isolated or combined elements from his characteristic imagery: Still life, landscapes, and not least his series of iconic female portraits with the collective title "The Great American Nude" on which he started in 1961. In these paintings the artist emphasises individual details of the models, such as the hands, feet, and bosom. Tom Wesselmann's name is inextricably associated with the American Pop Art movement of the 1960s and names such as Jim Dine, Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist and Claes Oldenburg. However, Tom Wesselmann resisted such labelling and emphasised his focus on the aesthetic representation of everyday motifs rather than maintaining criticism of consumer society: "I dislike labels in general and 'Pop' in particular, especially because it overemphasises the material used. There does seem to be a tendency to use similar materials and images, but the different ways they are used denies any kind of group intention.".

In his paintings, he makes use of the images of advertising and mass culture, often achieving a humorous and poster-like effect. Together with Ed Ruscha and Wayne Thiebaud, Mel Ramos is one of the leading pop artists of the American West Coast.

Acrylic on celotex. 111 x 144 cm. Provenance: Leo Castelli Gallery, New York. Provenance: Private Collection. Richard Artschwager's paintings are near-photorealistic representations of everyday objects rendered with the monochrome palette of grisailles. Richard Artschwager is known for his unorthodox use of materials, which is also expressed in the catalogued painting "Kitchen" from 1971. The acrylic paint is rendered on Celotex, which is a material made of dried and compressed sugarcane fibres that features a sandpaper-like surface. This material invites interesting modulations when applying the paint. Artschwager describes the use of Celotex with the following words: "For me it has been sometimes a useful art material in that it liberates drawing from the handheld and allows it to move into a space more commonly occupied by [canvas] paintings. It keeps the intimacy because of its paper-like characteristics, but allows it to operate at a greater physical, thereby mental, distance because of its magnified coarseness" (R. Artschwager, A Note on Celotex, Connections: Richard Artschwager, Boston, 1992, n.p.).

Provenance: Leo Castelli Gallery, New York. Provenance: Private Collection. Preoccupation with the written word is a defining character of Edward Ruscha's oeuvre. By isolating words and text fragments the artist offers new graphical perspectives and new reflections on their artistic significance. The artist enjoyed limited exposure to art during in his childhood but like other American Pop-Art artists he became immensely preoccupied early in his career with ubiquitous expressions of pop culture: comic strips, typography, book design and advertisements. When Ruscha settled in Los Angeles in 1956, he found work as a sign writer and graphic designer while working as a typographer for an art book publisher. Ruscha belonged to the inner circle of artists associated with the legendary Ferus Gallery behind such seminal exhibitions as Andy Warhol's breakthrough exhibition in 1962 that featured "Campbell's Soup Cans". His intellectual investigation of semantics differentiates Ruscha from other Pop-Art artists but his reference point was nonetheless popular culture. The artist's recurrent motif with words suspended freely in an undefined space draws on a personal memory of driving along Route 66 from his hometown to Los Angeles where gigantic billboards would sporadically interrupt the horizon, as punctuations on the landscape that gradually grow in size before they wiz pass the windows of the car. The word "Stains" furthermore explicitly refers to the group of works entitled "Stains" created in 1969 (The Museum of Modern Art, New York). In these works the artists allowed a number of different materials to sink into the paper: "The idea of using something that stains rather than a paint that sits on the surface of a canvas was a discovery for myself at the time. So there is everything from wine stains, coffee stains, L.A. tap water that's almost invisible - lots of 'em, lots of stains".

Provenance: Contemporary Fine Arts, Berlin. Even before graduating from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2000, Tal R had made his mark as an innovative, stylesetting, accessible, resolved and widely experimental painter. The artist has on several occasions described his style and his entire artistic project with reference to the Jewish kibbutz tradition kolboijnik, i.e. to make a festive dinner of leftovers. He elaborated his views of the concept – and his art – in an interview in which he identified the ‘ingredients’ in his work as the baggage we carry through life: “ (...) you were brought up in Brøndby, you attended some school or other, you played football somewhere, and you were slapped in the face by some guy or some girl or other. It’s [about] the things you have never asked for but which happen to be there; where you come from; things that you carry around and which are useful. That is what I call kolboijnik. But then there is also something else; something that all people need – to express themselves. We are generally used to institutions taking care of art training since it’s the institutions that are the guardians our cultural heri- 134 tage. But each of us carries a story too. Not a literary story about where you come from but about being human: having a body, an ass, a spine. That’s what pictures are generated from! (Source: Ferdinand Ahm Krak: “Interview: Tal R”, September 2007, www.kopenhagen.dk). In another interview Tal R has spoken about the painting as medium: “Every time a painting tries to add its voice to current public debate it becomes the funniest clown in the ring. It [a painting] lacks social commitment and is, when all comes to all, just a piece of canvas, some sticks and some paint that dries on the canvas. The painting has no influence. It’s like fencing with a serviette rather than a sword. But the painting can create the most amazing things with simple means. The paint is a kind of coloured mud that can say something fantastic, and I like that. In my art I operate with three layers. First of all I use the white canvas, secondly there is the ‘mud’ that creates the vision that allows people to use the painting as a window, and thirdly there is the object – some white sticks and a canvas. To me a painting isn’t an object that occupies a territory (...) but rather an object that carries a number of decisions and some visions (...). The painting is a small serviette in a sword fight. And art is a tiny little fraction of human life. It’s a silly little thing to crate pictures. And all the same it’s something very fundamentally human since it embraces spirituality and the body”.

Three large photographs show greenhouses in the Icelandic landscape. The greenhouses are placed on top of hot springs that produce enough energy for a production of fruits and vegetables to feed the entire Icelandic population. The greenhouses are lit from the inside and almost look like spaceships that have landed in the landscape. Their geometric structures stand out from the organic forms of nature, but in a way that also BRUUN RASMUSSEN TRÉSOR accentuates the latter. The tremendous power, mysteriousness and mythology of Icelandic nature finds its counterpart in the cultural and alien elements represented by the greenhouses. The greenhouses maintain an artificial naturalness which is paradoxical and ironic. Olafur Eliasson works with the elements of nature (water, air, light and earth) and the point of departure of his works are problems of representations, like the opposition between nature and culture, inside and outside. Different kinds of scientists, engineers and architects often participate in the production of his installations. BRUUN RASMUSSEN TRÉSOR They are all specialists who work with the displacement of scale, representation and models. Focus is on the experience of the viewer and sometimes he or she will find nature more real, beautiful and overwhelming by watching the representation than by actually being in nature. Nature is staged as a piece of fiction - with the viewer as the centre - and this fiction might influence the viewer's future experiences of nature and stimulate him or her to adopt an aesthetisized view on the familiar surroundings".

Provenance: Private Collection. Robert Stanley was born in Yonkers, N.Y., in 1932. After attending Columbia University for two years, he received a bachelor's degree in English literature in 1953 from Oglethorpe College in Atlanta and studied art at the High Museum of Art. Back in New York, he first worked in collage. In the early 1960's, he began to base his paintings on images clipped from newspapers and magazines, following the example of Pop artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, who would become his brother-in-law. His preferred subjects, including rock stars, sporting events and pornography, always seem to grate against the pretenses of high art. In the late 1960's the artist started using his own photographs, basing paintings on images of tree branches or the ground, and also using pictures of life-drawing models at the School of Visual Arts, where he was a faculty member for 16 years. His work is represented in many public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

He graduated from the academy with a Gold Medal. Most of his body of work lies within architecture and he achieved great international recognition with his architectural designs in Vienna and Athens. He was one of few architects to bridge the transition between late classicism and early historicism. Knowledge of his historicist furniture design is limited, however. Only few examples can with certainty be attributed to Theophilus Hansen. The chair in mention is known from a draft in the Hetsch Collection at the Danish Museum of Art and Design. The draft was executed by Christian Hetsch and carries the inscription "comp. Th. Hansen." There are, however, discrepancies between the chair and the draft. The chair is embellished with fine festoons that constitute the "ears" of the chair. According to the current owner, the chair originates from the Scavenius family, which commissioned Hetsch to design a room interior for their manor, Klintholm.

The Condé museum is the duc d'Aumale's creation. Whilst in exile in England he collected paintings, furniture, books which are all on display in the Château de Chantilly. The Condé museum, one of France's most prestigious heritages and is the first museum for classical paintings after the Louvre. The Antechamber and the Salle des Gardes date from the 19th century. They were built by Honoré Daumet to link the Grand Château to the Petit Château, which up til then were separated by a moat spanned by a covered bridge. During the French Revolution the château was emptied of its collections, but the antechamber has several reminders of how Chantilly was decorated in the 18th century, such as the mineralogical cabinet by George Haupt (1741-1784). The mineralogical cabinet by Haupt was given to the Prince de Condé by Gustav III, King of Sweden.

The fabulous composition depicts a swarm of ballerinas, princesses, laughing faces, flowers, palms and dancing clowns. In the center of the composition formed like an octagon Andersen has written a verse: "Den Klipning her er noget dyr,/ den er sat til en halv Rigsdaler,/ Men det er et heelt klippet Eventyr,/Den Dit Hjertelag betaler./ H.C. Andersen." ("This paper cut is somewhat expensive/ it costs half a "rigsdaler"/ But it is a whole cut fairy tale/ It will pay your kind heart / H.C. Andersen"). This outstanding paper cut is one of the largest paper cuts by H.C. Andersen known to exist. According to the diaries of H.C. Andersen it appears to have been given as a gift to Andersen's very close friend, the famous composer J.P.E. Hartmann (1805-1900). The paper cut is unusually well preserved and has never been mounted on canvas or paper. The composition has the same verse (with a few variations) as "the court baker Bruun's paper cut" at the H.C. Andersen Museum in Odense. According to the diaries of H.C. Andersen these two paper cuts appear to have been made in May 1864. At that time Denmark had just lost a war against Germany and it is likely that Andersen intended the paper cuts to encourage fallen soldiers. The present cut is truly "a whole cut fairy tale" far away from any war.

France, circa 1860. H. 79 cm. L. 212 cm. W. 103 cm. Paul Sormani (1817-1877) was born in Venice. Having trained as a cabinet maker he moved to Paris where he opened his first shop in 1847. Later his business expanded and he moved to the rue Charlot in 1867. Napoleon III's wife the Empress Eugenie was particularly fond of furniture in the Louis XV and Louis XVI style. She decorated her home with both original pieces and spectacular reproductions in these styles. Sormani was a cabinet-maker who was able to meet the Empress's high standards. Paul Sormani was a maker of fine "meubles de luxe", whose work was described in the 1867 Exposition Universelle catalogue as "toute sa production revele une qualite d'execution de tout premier ordre" The firm also made eclectic furniture in contemporary styles. It can be difficult to date Sormani's work, as the firm produced furniture for nearly ninety years. However, when Paul Sormani died (circa 1877), his wife and son took over the business and from this date onwards pieces are normally signed "Veuve Sormani & Fils".

Frey, "The Dated European Coinage prior to 1501, New York 1915, N1; R. A. Levinson, "The Early dated coins of Europe 1234 1500", New Jersey 2002, VI-1. The coin shows a crown on the obverse and a miter (bishop's hat) on the reverse and bears the following legends in uncial script: +ANNO DOMINI / MCCXXXIIII. From an old Swedish collection. First published in Nordisk Numismatisk Unions Medlemsblad, August 2003, by Kent Bengtsson. Of the utmost historical importance. A wonderful example, probably the best of the 7 in existence and unique in private hands. The present coin, which ranges among the most famous and most important of all European coins ever, owes its position to the fact that it is the earliest dated coin in the history of European numismatics. In his standard reference work Robert Levinson puts it very accurately when he says that "The decision to begin dating coins to an Anno Domini standard was hardly a trend-setter: 138 years passed until the next European coins were dated in 1372", and the first collectable dated coin is normally considered as being the 1374 Groschen from Aachen. The reason for the issue of this outstanding coin has since its first discovery around 1700 been something of a mystery, and in fact precisely the mysterious could hold some of the explanation for the dating of this coin. In the Medieval world superstition played a vital part in every day life and the magic in numbers should not be underestimated. After all, never before - or for that matter since - has there been a year containing such a "powerful" sequence of numbers, no matter if you use the Arabic numbers 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 or the Roman numerals M (x 1) C (x 2) X (x 3) I (x 4). Most of the 13th century there was an intense conflict between the King and the Catholic Church, and king Valdemar tried to secure full proceeds from the minting, which was divided between the crown and the church. Following a meeting in 1234, Niels Stigsen, who was bishop of Roskilde from 1225 till 1249, apparantly succeeded in maintaining "his" share of the income, and so the present coin, showing the miter of the bishop, could be seen as a sort of ecclesiastical commemorative.

Comparable pieces can be seen in the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha (ex. Sotheby's, London, April 30th 2003, lot. 68) and in the David Collection, Copenhagen (Kjeld Von Folsach: Islamic Art, 1990, p. 204f.). Islamic decorative art reaches a pinnacle under the Mongolian Dynasty called the Il Khanids, who ruled over present days Iran and Iraq from 1256 till 1353. Silver and gold inlaid luxury goods in bronze and brass belonged to the most highly esteemed prestigious objects, but only very rarely have these beautiful, but delicate and frail inlays been preserved to our times. The present richly decorated case, which served as a container for writing tools, must certainly have belonged to a highranking member of the Il Khanid court. Whereas figurative representations of humans and animals are normally considered to be in conflict with Islamic teaching, this has mostly held true within the specifically religious sphere. Secular art, however, has sometimes been adorned with very beautiful figurative motives. In the present case scenes of courtly hunting are depicted in combination with series of symbolic and highly poetic representations of flying birds, which probably also allude to esoteric conceptions. 1 DKK 2.250.000-3.000.000 / € 302.000-402.000 1.

Den, der byder for andre, hæfter som selvskyldnerkautionist for berigtigelsen af købet. På opfordring fra Bruun Rasmussen Kunstauktioner (herefter benævnt Bruun Rasmussen), skal alle bydere, hvadenten de ønsker at afgive et bud ved personligt fremmøde på auktionsstedet eller afgive en kommission pr. brev, fax eller hjemmeside eller byde direkte pr. telefon eller hjemmeside, kunne dokumentere deres betalingsdygtighed samt til enhver tid identificere sig. Bruun Rasmussen er altid berettiget til at nægte at acceptere et bud, hvis på forlangende ikke tilstrækkelig sikkerhed er stillet eller en passende à conto betaling har fundet sted. Bud afgives af byderen ved personligt fremmøde på auktionsstedet eller ved skriftlig kommission enten pr. brev, fax eller hjemmeside. På online-auktioner afgives bud direkte fra hjemmesiden. Afgivelse af bud pr. telefon er muligt under visse forudsætninger, der afgøres af Bruun Rasmussen. Bruun Rasmussen påtager sig intet ansvar for eventuelle fejl eller fejltagelser, der måtte opstå ved brug af denne service. Auktionarius bestemmer overbuddets størrelse og træffer ligeledes afgørelse i alle tvivlstilfælde om budgivningen. For at kunne byde på online auktioner kræves forudgående registrering af byders betalingskort- / kreditkortoplysninger. § 2. Betaling For numre, der handles til brugtmoms, opgøres købesummen som hammerslagsprisen med tillæg af 25% i auktionsomkostninger inklusive afgift. Visse numre handles efter særlige regler til fuldmoms, så udover auktionsomkostninger på 20%, beregnes moms på 25% af hammerslag og auktionsomkostninger. Hvilke numre der sælges til fuldmoms fremgår af katalog og hjemmeside med stjerne (*). Danske momsregistrerede købere skal overfor Bruun Rasmussen oplyse deres SE-/CVR-nr. (moms-nr.), da dette skal anføres på de fakturaer, hvor varen købes i fuld moms. For visse udenlandske købere gælder der særlige regler for afgiftsfritagelse jvf. § 4. Afgiftsfritagelse omfatter ikke EU private købere, som ligestilles med danske købere jvf. gældende dansk lovgivning om handel med brugte varer, kunstgenstande, samlerobjekter og antikviteter. Købesummen forfalder til betaling ved tilslaget. Der kan betales kontant op til DKK 100.000 eller med Dankort, banknoteret check, rejsechecks, Visa-, Master-, Diners Club- eller Eurocard. Personlige udenlandske checks kan kun anvendes efter forudgående aftale. Betaling kan finde sted under eller umiddelbart efter auktionen og under alle omstændigheder skal betaling finde sted senest 8 dage efter fakturadatoen. På online auktioner trækkes købesummen på de af byderen oplyste kort- og kontooplysninger i forbindelse med at det købte emne udtages til transport (ca. 12 timer efter dagens salg). Samtidig tilsendes køber faktura og transportoplysninger. Betales købesummen ikke rettidigt, skal der svares rente heraf med 1,5% pr. påbegyndt måned. Betales købesum og renter ikke inden 8 dage efter at Bruun Rasmussen har afsendt påkrav herom til køber, er Bruun Rasmussen berettiget til at annullere købet og bortsælge det købte på ny auktion hos Bruun Rasmussen eller underhånden og afkræve køber ethvert herved opstået tab. Et eventuelt overskud tilfalder den, der har indleveret det købte til auktion. Har den misligholdende køber tilgodehavender fra salg af effekter hos Bruun Rasmussen, er Bruun Rasmussen berettiget til at berigtige ethvert tilgodehavende hos køber ved modregning. Har den misligholdende køber indleveret andre effekter til salg, er Bruun Rasmussen berettiget til at bortsælge sådanne effekter på auktion hos Bruun Rasmussen uden at være bundet af en af den misligholdende køber fastsat mindstepris. Den misligholdende køber er ikke berettiget til at kræve ud- levering af effekter indleveret til salg, så længe forfalden gæld til Bruun Rasmussen ikke er betalt, uanset om værdien af sådanne effekter må anses at overstige forfalden gæld. Bruun Rasmussen er berettiget til at afvise bud afgivet af en køber, der er i misligholdelse med sine betalingsforpligtelser over for Bruun Rasmussen eller et bud afgivet af en anden på den pågældendes vegne, ligesom Bruun Rasmussen er berettiget til at kræve et depositum som betingelse for accept af fremtidige bud. § 3. Fortrydelsesret For privatkøb af emner på en online-auktion gælder loven om fjernsalg, herunder også 14 dages fortrydelsesret. Eventuelle omkostninger forbundet med transport af købte emner retur fra køber, betales af køber selv. Såfremt køber benytter sig af sin fortrydelsesret, refunderer Bruun Rasmussen betalingen umiddelbart efter, at varen er sendt retur og modtaget af Bruun Rasmussen. Bruun Rasmussen gør opmærksom på, at det herefter er op til bankerne/kreditkortselskaberne, hvornår refusionen indgår på købers konto. § 4. Afgiftsfritagelse Udenlandske købere, der opfylder nedennævnte betingelser, betaler 20% i auktionsomkostninger af hammerslaget, og bliver ikke belastet af danske afgifter. A. Købere med bopæl i et andet EU-land: Købere, som er momsregistreret i et andet EU-land, fritages for at betale dansk moms, når momsregistreringen dokumenteres over for Bruun Rasmussen, som skal påføre momsnummeret på fakturaen. B. Købere med bopæl uden for EU: 1. Forsendelse gennem speditør: Effekter, der eksporteres gennem en af Bruun Rasmussen godkendt speditør, fritages for afgift. 2. Udførsel som rejsegods: Der kan ske fritagelse for dansk afgift, når køberen selv medtager det købte under forudsætning af, at følgende betingelser er opfyldt: Fakturaen skal være betalt, og den danske afgift på 25% af fakturabeløbet skal være deponeret hos Bruun Rasmussen. a. Købere med fast bopæl i Norge vil få den danske moms refunderet, så snart Bruun Rasmussen har modtaget købsfakturaen retur med påtegning om officiel indførsel fra det endelige lands toldmyndighed eller anden på omsætningsafgiftsområdet kompetent myndighed, hvis købet overstiger DKK 1.200. b. Købere med fast bopæl andre steder uden for EU vil få den danske moms refunderet, efter at effekterne har været forevist til toldbehandling i forbindelse med køberens udrejse fra EU. Eksportørblanketten returneres til Bruun Rasmussen efter at være forsynet med et toldvæsens attest for udførslen, hvis købet overstiger DKK 300. Dette gælder også for Færøerne og Grønland. § 5. Afgiftsbetaling A. Momsregistrerede i andre EU-lande, der ikke ønsker at gøre brug af § 4, kan i stedet vælge at handle til brugtmoms/fuldmoms på lige fod med private købere. Dette skal meddeles Bruun Rasmussen inden kl. 10 den følgende auktionsdag. B. Momsregistrerede i Danmark kan vælge at købe til fuldmoms med 25% af både hammerslag og auktionsomkostninger. Dette skal meddeles inden kl. 10 den følgende auktionsdag. § 6. Udlevering Købesummen skal være betalt, inden det købte kan udleveres til køberen. Det købte henligger fra hammerslaget for købers regning og risiko. For varer, der ikke afhentes ifølge aftale efter hammerslaget, vil blive kørt på fjernlager på købers regning og risiko. Købte varer, der er betalt, men ikke afhentet, vil efter 1 år blive videresolgt for købers regning ved auktion eller underhånden. § 7. Forsendelse Såfremt Bruun Rasmussen påtager sig at emballere og fremsende købte varer, sker dette på købers regning og risiko. Bruun Rasmussen kan således ikke drages til ansvar for skader forvoldt på købte varer under forsendelse eller for forsvundne forsendelser. § 8. Kunstnerafgift til Copy-Da n CD Ifølge gældende dansk lovgivning om ophavsret skal der opkræves følgeretsvederlag på værker af alle nyere danske og visse udenlandske kunstnere. Følgeretsvederlaget opkræves hos køber af Bruun Rasmussen på vegne af kunstnernes organisation Copy-Dan, for de kunstværker, der er omfattet af loven. Disse værker er mærket CD for Copy-Dan ud for katalognummeret. Følgeretsvederlaget beregnes som følger for det enkelte kunstværk, når hammerslagsprisen overstiger DKK 1.864: • 5% af den del af hammerslagsprisen, der ligger mellem DKK 0 og DKK 310.729 med tillæg af auktionsomkostninger på 20% ekskl. afgift • 3% af den del af hammerslagsprisen, der ligger mellem DKK 310.729 og DKK 1.242.917 med tillæg af auktionsomkostninger på 20% ekskl. afgift • 1% af den del af hammerslagsprisen, der ligger mellem DKK 1.242.917 og DKK 2.175.104 med tillæg af auktionsomkostninger på 20% ekskl. afgift • 0,5% af den del af hammerslagsprisen, der ligger mellem DKK 2.175.104 og DKK 3.107.292 med tillæg af auktions-omkostninger på 20% ekskl. afgift • 0,25% af den del af hammerslagsprisen, der ligger over DKK 3.107.292 med tillæg af auktionsomkostninger på 20% ekskl. afgift Copy-Dan afgiften kan ikke overstige DKK 93.219 for det enkelte kunstværk. § 9. Eksporttilladelse Kulturværdiudvalget er blevet ansøgt om eksporttilladelse, hvor dette kræves iflg. gældende dansk lovgivning om sikring af kulturværdier i Danmark. Foreligger en sådan ikke, vil dette blive meddelt den udenlandske køber umiddelbart efter hammerslaget. Derefter vil Bruun Rasmussen igen ansøge Kulturværdiudvalget på købers vegne, nu hvor prisen kendes. Gives eksporttilladelse ikke, er Kulturværdiudvalget forpligtet til at overtage det købte til den opnåede pris, hvilket betyder at købet bliver hævet for køber. § 10. Beskrivelse af emner Alt sælges i den stand, hvori det ved hammerslaget er at forefinde og som beskrevet i katalog eller hjemmeside med senere offentliggjorte ændringer og modifikationer. Beskrivelsen er foretaget efter bedste overbevisning og under anvendelse af de anførte katalogiserings-principper. De solgte effekter er ofte af en alder eller af en art, der bevirker, at de kan være behæftet med fejl, mangler, restaurering eller beskadigelser, der ikke nødvendigvis angives i katalog eller på hjemmesiden. Afbildninger i katalog eller på hjemmesiden er blot til identifikation og kan ikke anvendes til vurdering af effekternes stand. Enhver der ønsker at byde på auktion, bør derfor ved selvsyn på de før auktionen afholdte eftersyn forvisse sig om de ønskede effekters stand. Beskrivelsen er udtryk for den på salgstidspunktet blandt lærde og eksperter herskende opfattelse. Skulle der efter købet opstå tvivl om det købtes ægthed eller dettes overensstemmelse med beskrivelsen, skal dette straks meddeles til Bruun Rasmussen. Såfremt det må erkendes, at det købte er en forfalskning, eller såfremt beskrivelsen har været behæftet med væsentlige fejl, der har medført en væsentlig højere hammerslagspris, end en korrekt beskrivelse må antages at ville have resulteret i, er køber berettiget til at annullere købet, hvorefter den samlede erlagte købesum tillagt auktionsomkostninger og evt. moms, vil blive refunderet køber. Væsentlige fejl i beskrivelsen relateret til mål eller vægt erstattes kun procentuelt i forhold til differencen. Retten til under de her anførte betingelser at annullere et køb eller kræve erstatning kan kun udøves af den, der købte den pågældende effekt hos Bruun Rasmussen og er betinget af, at krav om annullering og/eller erstatning fremsættes skriftligt over for Bruun Rasmussen inden 2 år efter købsdagen (datoen for genstandens overlevering), og, i tilfælde af annullering, af at det købte inden samme frist returneres til Bruun Rasmussen i den samme stand i enhver henseende, som det købte var i på hammerslagstidspunktet. Køber kan i tilfælde af annullering ikke gøre krav på betaling af renter af købesummen og er ej heller berettiget til at kræve anden udgift eller tab, herunder eventuel mistet videresalgsfortjeneste, dækket. Et køb kan ikke kræves annulleret og køber kan ikke kræve erstatning efter ovenstående bestemmelser, såfremt: a. beskrivelsen i katalog eller på hjemmesiden på hammerslagsdagen var i overensstemmelse med den på dette tidspunkt gældende opfattelse blandt lærde og eksperter, eller b. den eneste måde til på salgstidspunktet at få fastslået et falsk-neri var iværksættelsen af videnskabelige processer, hvis gyldighed først blev anerkendt efter salgstidspunktet, eller som ville have været uforholdsmæssigt omkostningskrævende eller uigennemførlige uden beskadigelse af den pågældende effekt. I tillæg til ovenstående frist gælder de almindelige forældelsesregler i forældelsesloven, efter hvilke køber ikke under nogen omstændigheder kan gøre noget krav gældende over for Bruun Rasmussen, når der er forløbet mere end 5 år fra købsdagen. Bruun Rasmussen Kunstauktioner Jesper Bruun Rasmussen, Auktionsholder Jørgen Byriel, Auktionsleder KOMMISSIONER Bruun Rasmussen påtager sig at byde i kommission for bydere, der ikke kan være til stede ved auktionen. Det er en forudsætning, at kommissioner indleveret pr. brev eller fax er Bruun Rasmussen i hænde i 24 timer før auktionens start, så om nød-vendigt bydernes kreditværdighed kan undersøges. Via hjemmesiden er denne deadline 3 timer. Bruun Rasmussen påtager sig intet ansvar for eventuelle fejl-tagelser, der måtte opstå ved brug af denne service. Konditionsrapporter Bruun Rasmussen påtager sig, hvis det er muligt, at orientere nærmere om numrenes kondition og tilstand. Dette er ment som en service for kunder, der ikke selv har mulighed for ved selvsyn at undersøge numrene på eftersynet. Det understreges, at de givne oplysninger ikke kan gøres til genstand for reklamationer; her henvises til beskrivelsen. FRITAGELSE FOR DANSK FULDMOMS Købere skal ifølge § 2 betale fuldmoms af de varer der i katalog eller på hjemmesiden er markeret med stjerne (*). Når virksomheder, der er momsregistrerede i andre EU-lande, køber hos Bruun Rasmussen og videresælger til private, skal der ikke betales dansk moms, men moms i henhold til de regler der gælder, hvor den udenlandske virksomhed er momsregistreret. Det tilrådes at søge oplysning hos de lokale myndigheder. c o n d i t i o n s o f p u rchas e § 1. Bidding The buyer shall be the highest bidder at the “hammer price”. Any person bidding on behalf of a third party shall be liable in surety for completion of the sale. At the request of Bruun Rasmussen Kunstauktioner (hereinafter called Bruun Rasmussen), all bidders, whether they wish to make bids in person at the place of auction or commission bids by letter or fax or direct telephone bids, should be able to document their ability to pay and be able to provide proof of identity at any time. Bruun Rasmussen is entitled to refuse to accept a bid if, when requested, adequate security or adequate payment on account has not been rendered. Bids should be made by the bidder in person at the place of auction or by written commission. Telephone bidding is possible within certain conditions made out by Bruun Rasmussen. Bruun Rasmussen is not to be held responsible for any errors that may occur using this service. The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion as to the increment of the bids. The auctioneer will also make decisions in all cases of doubt regarding the bidding Credit/debit card information must be registered with Bruun Rasmussen before bids can be submitted at our online auctions. § 2. Payment The purchase price is the hammer price plus 25% in buyer’s premium, including VAT, for lots sold subject to the special VAT scheme for sales of Works of Art, Collectors’ items and Antiques, and secondhand goods by Public Auction (hereinafter called Special VAT). Certain lots are sold in accordance with specific rules on normal VAT arrangement (hereinafter called normal VAT), so that the purchase price is the hammer price plus an additional 20% in buyer’s premium and VAT of 25% levied on both the hammer price and the buyer’s premium. The lots subject to Full VAT are indicated as such in the catalogue with an asterix (*). Danish VAT registered buyers shall provide Bruun Rasmussen with documentation of their SE-/CVRnumber (VAT No.) as this has to be quoted on the invoice for goods bought at full VAT. For some foreign buyers, specific VAT-exemption rules apply (cf. Article 3). VAT-exemption does not apply to private buyers from the EU who are considered as Danish buyers (cf. current Danish legislation on Special VAT Scheme for Sales of Works of Art, Collectors’ items and Antiques by Public Auction). The purchase price falls due for payment when the goods have been knocked down. Payment may be made in cash up to DKK 100,000, by Dankort, banker’s cheque, traveller’s cheque, Visa-, Master-, Diners Club- or Eurocard. Personal foreign cheques may only be used for payment by prior arrangement. Payment may be made during or immediately after the auction. Under all circumstances payment must be made no later than eight days from the date of the invoice. With online auctions, payment takes place when the items are prepared for dispatch (circa 12 hours after the purchase has been made) using the banking details (credit/debit card and bank account) submitted by the purchaser. At the same time an invoice and dispatch information will be sent to the purchaser. Should the purchase price not be paid by the due date, interest at 1.5 % per new month will be charged. If the purchase price and interest are not paid within eight days after Bruun Rasmussen has sent its demand to the buyer, Bruun Rasmussen shall be entitled to rescind the sale and resell the goods at a Bruun Rasmussen auction or privately, and to demand reimbursement of any related losses from the defaulting buyer. Any further profit on the sale shall be payable to the person who had deposited the goods for sale by auction. If the defaulting buyer is entitled to proceeds from a sale of goods by Bruun Rasmussen, Bruun Rasmussen shall be entitled to set off its receivables against its payables to the defaulting buyer. If the defaulting buyer has deposited other goods for sale, Bruun Rasmussen shall be entitled to sell such goods at a Bruun Rasmussen auction without being bound by the reserve stipulated by the defaulting buyer. The defautling buyer shall not be entitled to demand the surrender of goods deposited for sale as long as the debt payable to Bruun Rasmussen has not been discharged, regardless of whether the value of such goods may be deemed to exceed the debt payable. Bruun Rasmussen shall be entitled to refuse a bid made by a buyer who is in default in respect to his payment obligations to Bruun Rasmussen, as well as a bid made by a third party on behalf of such a defaulting buyer. Bruun Rasmussen shall further be entitled to demand a deposit as a condition of accepting any future bids from such a purchaser. § 3. Money-back guarantee Online purchase of items by private individuals is subject to Danish consumer law, which extends 14 days of money-back guarantee. The purchaser is liable for any costs related to the transport of returned items. Should a purchaser seek to avail himself or herself of the money-back guarantee, Bruun Rasmussen will refund the payment on receiving the returned items. Please note that the date on which accounts are debited is subject to the policy of the purchaser’s bank/credit card company. § 4. Exemption from VAT Foreign buyers who fulfil the conditions stated below shall pay 20% of the hammer price in buyer’s premium and shall not be subject to Danish taxes and duties: A. Buyers residing in another EU Member State: Buyers are exempt from paying Danish VAT as long as they have provided Bruun Rasmussen with documentation of their VAT registration. The VAT number will then be quoted on Bruun Rasmussen’s invoice. B. Buyers residing outside the EU: 1 Dispatch through forwarding agent: Lots exported through a forwarding agent approved by Bruun Rasmussen are exempt from VAT. 2 Export as personal luggage: Goods may be exempt from Danish VAT when the buyer personally takes the goods out of the country as luggage, provided the following conditions have been met: The invoice must have been paid and the Danish duty of 25% of the invoice amount must have been deposited with Bruun Rasmussen. a Buyers residing in Norway will be refunded the Danish VAT as soon as the invoice of sale has been returned to Bruun Rasmussen endorsed by the customs authorities of the country in question or by any other authority with jurisdiction over matters of purchase tax with respect to official imports of goods into the country in question if the purchase price exceeds DKK 1,200. b Buyers residing in other countries outside the EU will be refunded the Danish VAT after the goods have been presented for customs clearance in connection with the departure of the buyer from the EU. The exporter’s form should be returned to Bruun Rasmussen after being endorsed with the customs authorities’ export certificate if the purchase price exceeds DKK 300 This also applies to the Faroe Islands and Greenland. § 5. Payment of taxes and duties A. Buyers with VAT-registration in other EU member states who do not wish to make use of Article 3 may instead choose to purchase items subject to Special VAT/Normal VAT in the same manner as private buyers. Bruun Rasmussen must be notified of this before 10 a.m. on the following auction day. B. Buyers with VAT-registration in Denmark may choose to purchase subject to Normal VAT at 25% of the hammer price plus premium. Bruun Rasmussen must be notified of this before 10 a.m. on the following auction day. § 6. Collection of purchases The purchase price must be paid in full before the purchased lot can be passed over to the buyer. From the time of the lot being knocked down to the buyer, until its collection, the purchased lot will be held at the buyer’s own expense and risk. A storage fee will be charged for lots which have not been collected within 14 days after the time of the lot being knocked down. Goods which have been paid for but not collected within 1 year will be resold at auction or privately at the buyer's expense. § 7. Dispatch Should Bruun Rasmussen undertake the packaging and forwarding of purchased goods, this shall be done at the buyer’s own expense and risk. Bruun Rasmussen shall thus not be held liable neither for any damage caused to purchased goods during dispatch nor for any missing consignments. § 7. Droit de Suite Pursuant to current Danish legislation on Copyright, an artistic royalty shall be collected on works of modern art by all Danish and some foreign artists. Bruun Rasmussen will from the buyer collect the royalties required on behalf of the artists’ organisation Copy-Dan for any work of art subject to this law. These works are identified in the catalogue by CD for Copy-Dan, marked beside each relevant lot number. The artistic royalty will be calculated as follows for each work of art, when the hammerprice exceeds DKK 1,864: • 5% of the part of the hammerprice ranging from DKK 0 to DKK 310,729 plus the buyer’s premium (20% excl. VAT) • 3% of the part of the hammerprice ranging from DKK 310,729 to DKK 1,242,917 plus the buyer’s premium (20% excl. VAT) • 1% of the part of the hammerprice ranging from DKK 1,242,917 to DKK 2,175,104 plus the buyer’s premium (20% excl. VAT) • 0.5% of the part of the hammerprice ranging from DKK 2,175,104 to DKK 3,107,292 plus the buyer’s premium (20% excl. VAT) • 0.25% of the part of the hammerprice lying above DKK 3,107,292 plus the buyer’s premium (20% excl. VAT) The artistic royalty cannot exceed DKK 93,219 for each work of art. lots for which he intends to bid by personal inspection at the preview held prior to the auction. The catalogue description is an indication of the prevailing oppinion of scholars and expert at the time of the printing of the catalogue. If any doubts should arise after the purchase regarding the genuineness of the purchased lot or its conformance with the catalogue description, Bruun Rasmussen should immediately be informed thereof. Should the purchased lot be proved to be a forgery, or if the catalogue description contains material errors which lead to a considerably higher hammer price than that which a correct catalogue description would presumably result in, the buyer shall be entitled to cancel the purchase, after which the buyer shall be reimbursed for the total purchase price paid plus buyer's premium and VAT, when applicable. For material errors in the catalogue description in respect to measurements or weight, compensation shall only be paid on a percentage basis in proportion to the difference. The right of cancellation of a purchase in pursuance of the present conditions can only be exercised by the party who has bought the lot in question at Bruun Rasmussen and shall be subject to the presentation of a claim for cancellation in writing to Bruun Rasmussen within 2 years of the purchase date and to the purchased lot being returned to Bruun Rasmussen in the same condition in any and all respects which the purchased lot was in at the time of the lot being knocked down to the buyer. In the event of cancellation the buyer shall not be entitled to claim payment of interest on the purchase price nor shall the buyer be entitled to claim compensation for any other expenses or loss incurred, including any possible loss of profit in connection with reselling. It shall not be possible to state cancellation of a purchase in pursuance of the above provisions if: a the catalogue description on the day the lot was knocked down to the buyer was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts; b the only way of establishing whether the lot was a forgery at the time of the publication of the catalogue was the implementation of scientific processes, the validity of which was only acknowledged after the time of publication of the catalogue, or which would have required a disproportionate amount of cost, or which would have been impossible to carry out without damaging the lot in question. In addition to the time-limits stated above, all purchases are subject to the Statute of Limitations stipulated by Danish law by which Bruun Rasmussen is under no circumstance liable for purchases after 5 years from the date of purchase. Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers Jesper Bruun Rasmussen, auctioneer Jørgen Byriel, officially appointed external supervisor § 9. Export licence COMMISSION Applications for an export licence must be made to the Danish Cultural Assets Committee when required in accordance with current Danish legislation on the protection and preservation of cultural assets in Denmark. Where such a licence has not been obtained, the foreign buyer will be informed thereof immediately after the lot has been knocked down to the buyer. Another application will subsequently be sent to the Danish Cultural Assets Committee by Bruun Rasmussen on behalf of the buyer, now that the price is known. Should an export licence not be granted, the Danish Cultural Assets Committee would be obliged to acquire the purchased lot at the purchase price, and the buyer would thus not be bound to the purchase. Bruun Rasmussen undertakes to execute commission bids for bidders who are unable to be present at the auction. It is a prerequisite that Bruun Rasmussen receives the commission 24 hours before the start of the auction for the bidders’ credit to be checked, if necessary. Bruun Rasmussen is not to be held responsible for any errors that may occur using this service. § 10. Cataloguing All lots are sold in the condition in which they are found when knocked down and as described in the catalogue with subsequently published changes and modifications. Cataloguing is done according to the best of Bruun Rasmussen’s knowledge and on the cataloguing principles stated. The lots auctioned are often of some age or of a kind which makes it possible that they may contain defects, deficiencies, or may have been subject to restoration or damage not necessarily stated in the catalogue. Catalogue pictures are for identification only and cannot be used for an evaluation of the condition of the goods. Any person who wishes to bid at an auction should therefore sa-tisfy himself of the condition of the CONDITION REPORTS Bruun Rasmussen undertakes to provide further information about the state and condition of the lots if possible. This is regarded as a service for customers who are unable to make a personal inspection of the lots at the preview. Bruun Rasmussen stresses that the information given cannot be used as the basis for complaints; complaints can only be based on the catalogue text. Exemption FROM VAT Buyers shall, according to § 2, pay full VAT on lots marked with an asterix *.

Bids and invoicing are made in DDK. Ved omregning fra DKK til Euro er anvendt Nationalbankens officielle valutakurs på tidspunktet for udarbejdelse af kataloget. For the conversion from DKK into Euro, Bruun Rasmussen has used the official rate of exchange from Denmarks Nationalbank (the Danish National Bank) at the time of preparation of the catalogue. Beløbet i Euro er afrundet til et tal, der efter Bruun Rasmussens skøn fremtræder på en præsentabel måde i forhold til beløbet i DKK. Bevaringstilstand Bruun Rasmussen henleder opmærksomheden på, at katalognumrene som udgangspunkt ikke er forsynet med oplysninger om tilstand (jvf. købskonditionernes § 9). Vi henviser imidlertid til vores hjemmeside: www.bruun-rasmussen.dk, hvor der under det enkelte katalognummer ofte er oplysninger om bevaringstilstand, reparationer o. lign. Er disse oplysninger ikke tilstrækkelige kan én af afdelingens sagkyndige kontaktes for yderligere informationer. The amount in Euro is, in Bruun Rasmussen's judgment, roughly adjusted to presentable figures. Condition Bruun Rasmussen draws attention to the fact that, as a rule, no information is provided regarding the condition of the lots (cf. conditions of purchase § 9). However, we refer to our website: www.bruun-rasmussen.dk where information regarding condition, repairs, etc. can usually be found for the individual lot. Should this information be insufficient, further details can be obtained by contacting one of the experts of the department.

As of 1 January 1995 new EC regulations came into effect regarding the sale of secondhand goods, works of art, collector’s items and antiques; these items may now be traded under the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. Efter de nye regler er det kun auktionsomkostninger, der skal tillægges moms, og ikke som tidligere varens fulde pris. I auktionsomkostninger er indregnet ikke fradragsberettiget moms. Under the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme the premium only is subject to VAT, i.e. the hammer price is exempted from VAT. The buyer’s premium of 25% will thus henceforth include non-refundable VAT. Fuld moms * full vat * anvendes for visse varer som ikke kan handles i brugt moms. Disse er mærket med en stjerne *. Købere skal betale 20% i auktionsomkostninger, hvortil lægges 25% moms af hammerslaget og auktionsomkostningerne. Reducerede auktionsomkostninger 20% betales af købere der opfylder følgende betingelser: 1. Danske momsregistrerede købere kan vælge at betale 20% i auktionsomkostninger + 25% moms af hele (fuldmoms). Momsbeløbet kan køber modregne, og betaler derved 20% i auktionsomkostninger. 2. Momsregistrerede købere i andre EU-lande kan, ved at anvende deres EU-momsnr., undgå den danske moms og derved betale 20% i auktionsomkostninger. 3. Alle købere med bopæl i et land uden for EU, der opfylder de danske toldmyndigheders krav i forbindelse med eksport, betaler derved 20% i auktionsomkostninger (se købskonditioner, §3, Afgiftsfritagelse). Kunstnerafgift til Copy-dan CD Ifølge gældende dansk lovgivning om ophavsret, skal der opkræves 5% i kunstnerafgift af hammerslagsprisen med tillæg af auktionsomkostninger på 20% excl. afgift på værker af alle nyere danske og de fleste udenlandske kunstnere. Disse værker er mærket CD for Copy-Dan ud for katalognummeret. For nærmere information henvises til købskonditionerne. will be charged on goods that cannot be traded under the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. These lots are marked with an asterix *. The buyer pays the auction premium of 20% plus 25% vat on the hammer price as well as the buyer’s premium. BUYER’S REDUCED premium 20% is paid by buyers fulfilling the following terms/conditions: 1. Danish VAT registered buyers may choose to pay the 20% buyer’s premium + 25% VAT on the total amount (Full VAT). The buyer may have the total VAT refunded and thus pays 20% in buyer’s premium only. 2. VAT registered buyers in other EU countries may avoid Danish VAT by using their VAT registration number and thereby pay a buyer’s premium of 20% only. 3. Residents of countries outside the EU meeting the Danish customs authorities’ requirements regarding the export of goods pay the buyer’s premium of 20% only (see Conditions of Purchase §3, Exemption from VAT). Artists’ royalties payable to copy-dan CD Pursuant to current Danish legislation on copyright an artists’ royalty of 5% of the total price exclusive of VAT (i.e. hammer price plus buyer’s premium 20%) shall be collected on works of modern art by all Danish and most foreign artists. These works are marked CD for Copy-Dan next to the lot number.
