Stockholms Auktionsverk Presents

The Contemporary Art Sale

The Contemporary Art Sale highlights contemporary art by Swedish and international artists. Among the most prominent works in the auction are two pieces by Lena Cronqvist in which the girl takes centre stage. “Flicka med fläta och parasoll” is a striking example of Cronqvist’s skill as a sculptor, where the work of the hand is evident in every detail. The piece conveys an unusual sense of calm and presence that lingers. In “Två flickor”, childhood play and the encounter between innocence and unease are brought into focus.

International significance is added through “Spine (Black B)” by Tony Cragg, whose organic visual language and sensitivity to materials place him at the very forefront of contemporary sculpture. Another fine example is “Kvinna i röd klänning” by Stephen Balkenhol, carved from a single block of wood. The sale also features international photographers such as David LaChapelle and Cindy Sherman.
