Themed Auction: Art on Paper 

The works are exhibited all summer at the auction house at Nørgaardsvej 3 in Lyngby. Everyone is welcome to stop by and explore the many works on paper.

Most artists have at some point in time used drawings as an important part of their creative process. The drawings are often the medium in which the artist can try out ideas and explore different methods and shapes. Some ideas become studies for later work, while others remain sketches. A common trait for all of this artwork is that the artist's personality and temperament are often revealed through the choice of materials and brushstrokes.

Whether it is a quickly drawn sketch or a carefully worked-out study for a larger piece, drawings can often give us a more intimate view of the artist's work. The same intimacy applies to the graphic artwork produced throughout history where skilled craftsmen have carefully engraved, cut or etched directly on copper plates or wood. With these techniques, it became possible to make the art more available and accessible to people who would otherwise not be able to enjoy it.
