And the stroke of the hammer could be heard all the way back to Skagen

DKK 2,400,000 was the price when Michael Ancher’s beach painting, featuring the two young ladies Marie Dinesen and Anna Bitch, was sold at this year’s first international auction.

Generally, fine results were achieved for Skagen painters such as P.S. Krøyer, Laurits Tuxen, Carl Locher and Anna Ancher. Especially Michael Ancher, however, aroused fierce competition among the bidders. His two portraits of fishermen, for example, went for DKK 125,000 and DKK 135,000 which was more than twice as much as the estimates.

Reflecting the upward tendency in the market, we are looking for works by the Skagen painters and paintings with Skagen motifs for our next international auction in May-June. If you are in possession of paintings of this kind and perhaps would want to have them valuated with a view to selling them at our auction, we are of course at your service.
