Contemporary art wanted for this autumn’s auction

Art grapples with life’s big questions. It broadens our horizons and makes us wiser about the world around us. This is especially true of contemporary art, which, with works created by both well-established names and upcoming stars from the Danish and international art scene, all but guarantees to attract a high level of attention and higher hammer prices. We’re currently on the lookout for a strong selection of contemporary art for this autumn’s upcoming auction 22 October.

“Contemporary art is exciting. It captivates you with its substance, bold colour palette and the deeper meaning behind the work concerned."

Contemporary art

Contemporary art is the art that mirrors, comments and reflects on the world around us in the here and now. And yet it often reveals a fascination with older art and old techniques. The contemporary art market has traditionally been the realm of the galleries. They have the latest and the newest. But we’re see a growing interest in both buying and selling contemporary art at auction. And we are a part of that at Bruun Rasmussen. We want to show that there are good finds to be made and good contemporary art to be purchased at auction. The contemporary art market is largest in metropolises such as New York, London and Paris. And here, interest is now being shown in what Denmark has to offer. Increasing interest means increasing prices. We focus on both established artists and new, up-and-coming artists.
