Golgotha – Gaetano Pesce
With a deep-rooted curiosity to explore new methods and materials, the Italian Gaetano Pesce stood out as a true design pioneer. The Golgotha chair was part of a series of ground-breaking, conceptual works, on the border between art and design, which were presented in 1972. The suite belongs to one of Pesce’s first experiments that fully realized the idea of mass-produced uniques - or series of originals - as he himself called it. Pesce wanted to move away from smooth, modernist serial production and instead focus on unique objects.
Golgotha is a limited and diversified series; around thirty chairs are believed to have been produced, and no two are alike. In addition to the chairs, the suite also included a diamond-shaped and a trapezoidal table in two different sizes. The suite refers to the site immediately outside Jerusalem’s walls where, according to Christianity’s four canonical gospels, Jesus was crucified. The chairs allude to the Shroud of Turin - the burial shroud used to wrap the body of Jesus - and the table to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher where Jesus is said to have risen from the dead. The theme was intended to remind us of the sacramental value that objects had in traditional society, where every table was ultimately an altar, every chair a throne and every meal a realization of the Eucharist, an opening to the transcendental. The present chair has a significant provenance in the form of the architect and designer Alessandro Mendini, friend and colleague of Pesce. Thence through the Galleria Colombari in Milan and via auction
houses, ultimately ending up in a private collection in Sweden. The Golgotha suite was the first project launched under the Bracciodiferro brand – a sister company to the market-leading Italian furniture company Cassina. The company was founded in 1970 with the ambition to give Pesce an artistic sanctuary. Cassina saw Pesce’s greatness, but the objects and projects were considered too radical to market under his own name.
With the Golgotha suite, Pesce began an exploration of a new material, resin, which is a type of liquid plastic that hardens and becomes solid. The revolutionary method enabled serial production where all items become unique. The chair is made by hand from a fiberglass-reinforced fabric, which is soaked with resin. The backrest got its shape by being hung on a line below the seat and placed on a 45-centimeter-high cube. Before the blank fully hardened, a person had to sit on it to shape it. Thus, no two chairs were alike. Unique products were of the time and broke with the modernist view of industrially produced design. The project is the basis for a large part of Pesce’s continued artistry and later works such as the objects for Fish Design and the furniture in the “Nobody’s perfect” series.
The Golgotha suite testifies to Pesce’s greatness as a creator and inspirer within the postmodern design movement. Chairs from the suite can be found in the collections of several important institutions, such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Richard Prince
In the late 1960s, the availability of images in advertising and mass media increased. Artists such as Richard Pettibone and Andy Warhol brought these motifs into art and questioned the concepts of originality and copyright. Several conceptual artists extended this questioning within their respective media. In the early 1980s, artists such as Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger and Richard Prince had their breakthroughs using a similar approach. While Cindy Sherman scrutinized the objectifying image of young women, Richard Prince focused on the myths and aesthetics of popular culture. He was particularly interested in one of its main commercial representatives: The Marlboro Man. His artistic method was simple: he borrowed the cigarette brand’s iconic advertising symbol: the free and manly cowboy. In doing so, he captured not only the cigarette brand’s phenomenal invention, the Man with a capital M, but also a whole set of romantic yet cynical notions such as a longing for the return to nature and a traditional gender order. His image ’Untitled (Cowboy)’, a rephotograph of Sam Abell’s image for Marlboro, became the first work in this genre to sell for more than USD 1 million at auction in New York in 2005.
Richard Prince’s exploration of masculinity and the possibilities of appropriation in art continued a decade later when he took on a very different kind of myth and aesthetic: motorcycle gangs. His ’Girlfriends’ series went down like a bomb in art circles. This time, the images were originally amateur shots of gang members’ girlfriends published in motorcycle magazines like Easy-riders and Iron Horse. Prince selected the pictures himself, took photographs of them and in some cases cropped them. In the magazines, the images are just one of many amateur photos, usually poorly lit and out of focus, but when Prince moves the subject to an artistic context, the anonymous portraits suddenly take on a whole new meaning as independent works of art. The auction’s photograph combines Richard Prince’s two best-known photographic series with his third genre, paintings of printed jokes. Begun in 1986, ’The Joke Series’ has also become a signature work for Prince, combining painting with burlesque humor. The jokes often deal with taboos and frustrations of the white American middle class, highlighting sexism, racism and class issues.

Jenny Saville
Jenny Saville, has been revitalizing contemporary figurative painting since the early 1990s. As part of the Young British Artists (YBA), a loose group of British painters and sculptors who came to prominence in the late 1980s and early 1990s, she has challenged the boundaries of the genre and explored questions about society’s view of the body and its potential.
Her paintings focus on the human body, drawing inspiration for her closeup studies of skin and flesh from a wide variety of sources, ranging from the early paintings of masters such as Titian and Tintoretto to reconstructive plastic surgery. Saville’s works blur the line between classical painting and modern abstraction. The works have a physicality, she applies paint in thick layers, scraping, adding and removing. Her expressions, which have some common points of contact with Francis Bacon’s deformed bodies and Chaïm Soutine’s studies of flesh from the 1920s, among others. Saville’s bodies, however, always have a sense of pride
and refuse to be hidden; each body comes forward and break with the objectifying depictions of art history.
The collaboration between the painter Saville and the fashion photographer/filmmaker Glen Luchford questions and challenges notions of female beauty. The symbiosis between the worlds of art and fashion has produced many hybrid forms in recent years, but none perhaps as striking as this series of images. Here, the artists have created a new form of self-portraiture, with Saville herself acting as the model.

Brazilian artist Vik Muniz creates art by recreating well-known works from art history. He uses everyday products such as peanut butter, chocolate sauce, sequins, sugar, color pigments, tomato sauce and garbage to reconstruct these works of art. His very time-consuming and detailed work is then immortalized by the camera and turned into beautiful photographs, often in monumental sizes. His images play with our perception and he himself calls them “photographic delusions”. What the viewer first perceives as an image of an existing work of art turns out, on closer inspection, to be innovative interpretations of motifs from our common image bank.
The images in the “Aftermath” series depict children living on the streets of Brazil. Muniz has been involved with their situation for a long time and had the opportunity to work with some of them. He invited a number of children aged between 6 and 10 to explore art history to find works they could identify with. He then took black and white Polaroids of them in the same pose as the main character in the selected painting.
To build up the motifs in ”Aftermath”, Muniz collected carnival leftovers from the streets of Rio de Janeiro. The trash (confetti, bottle caps, cigarette
butts, etc.) was then placed on a light table. Using a reductive technique, including the use of a vacuum cleaner, the children’s portraits emerge after the photographic model.
Muniz’s career as an internationally renowned photographer began when some photographs from his ”Sugar Children” project were selected by MoMa to be shown in the ”New Photography” exhibition in 1997. In 2019, Muniz had a retrospective of over 100 photographs at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Atlanta. For the past 20 years, he has had several major exhibitions each year, around the world, and is represented in the most prestigious collections.

Otto Steinert
Otto Steinert is one of the most important figures in post-war European photography. He broke with the conventions of documentary photography and profoundly influenced the visual language, both theoretically and practically.
Born in Saarbrücken, Germany, in 1915, Steinert’s interest in photography began as a teenager, but he first chose a career as a doctor, serving as a staff physician during World War II. In 1947, he began to devote himself to photography full-time. He spent the rest of his professional life experimenting with form and technique using the camera to explore photography as a means of personal expression. Steinert placed a new emphasis on the photographer’s own creativity. He described how a series of creative decisions, from the choice of equipment to perspective and printing techniques, could make the subject take on a new meaning or significance.
Steinert’s hallmarks are tight cropping, slow shutter speeds and multiple exposures. He often worked with photograms (where objects are placed on light-sensitive paper and developed without a darkroom) and was a master at manually manipulating his images through darkroom montage.
From 1948, Steinert taught photography at the Saarland State School of Arts and Crafts in Saarbrücken. In 1949, he founded the Fotoform group, which aimed to revive the avant-garde photography of the 1920s and the formal experiments of the ”New Vision” movement and the idiom developed at the pioneering Bauhaus school. Between 1950 and 1958, Fotoform presented several important exhibitions under the title ”Subjektive Fotografie”.
From 1959 onwards, Steinert was a teacher and professor at the Folkwang Schule in Essen. There he also built up a renowned museum. Today, his archive is part of the photographic collection of the Museum Folkwang. Steinert is represented in most major museum collections, including MoMA in New York and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The Moderna Museet collection in Stockholm includes the auction motif, and the collections of the Getty Museum and the Centre Pompidou include another version of the same motif, “Die Bäume vor Meinem Fenster I”, 1950, depicting the three trees without leaves.
Several exhibitions of Steinert’s photography have been organized around the world, including at the Tate Modern in London and the Museum Folkwang, Essen.

Mike & Doug Starn (Starn Twins)
Since the 1980s, American twin brothers Mike and Doug Starn have been exploring the photographic medium and testing its limits. Their conceptual works often start with a photographic image, which is then transferred to unusual materials such as glass, plastic film, tape, sheet metal or handmade paper. The motifs are sometimes designed as collages and built up in several layers, which are put together with, for example, pins. “We try to show that photography is not an image, it’s a three-dimensional object,” they explained, ”It can have the same kind of growth and limitations or non-limitations as the other arts.” In a way, the innovative exploration of materials has become the hallmark of the Starn Twins, whether in sculpture, painting, video or photography. The concept of ’light’, as an idea and expression, runs like a red thread through the Starn brothers’ work. It can be about how moths are drawn to the lamp, how light filters through the branches of trees or about religious enlightenment.
The twins’ artistic collaboration started at the age of 13, and when they were 26 they broke through at the Whitney Biennial in New York. Since then, they have been recognized for their exhibitions at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the 2011 Venice Biennale, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, among others. Since the early 2000s, the Starn Twins have exhibited regularly at the Wetterling Gallery in Stockholm, most recently with the exhibition “Iggy and Franz” in the summer of 2019 and a group exhibition in the winter of 2023.
Today, their work can be found in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne and Moderna Museet in Stockholm.

Esko Männikkö
Finnish photographer Esko Männikkö came to international prominence in the mid-1990s with his series of photos showing bachelors in the northern parts of Finland. The images can be described with words like intimacy, dignity and humor, despite the apparent hardship experienced in these places. His later pictures, from Mexico and elsewhere, also depict environments and cultures on the margins of society.
In the ’Mexas’ series, Männikkö portrays the Mexican population around the cities of San Antonio and Batesville, Texas. Although the climate and the size of the population and communities differ between northern Finland and Texas, there are also many similarities between the people Männikkö has photographed.
In many ways, Männikkö’s work shows a strong affinity with painting. His subjects include hunting scenes, still lifes and portraits, reminiscent of the skillful Dutch artists of the 17th century. In their magnificent Vanitas still lifes, withered flowers, insects and rotting fruit reminded us of the transience of life. Instead of the lavish flower arrangements and silver goblets of the time, Esko Männikö’s still life depicts an everyday kitchen table three hundred years later, the remains of a meal where the ashtray and its cigarette butts have been replaced by the grinning skulls of the Dutch.
Männikkö’s documentary images depict life in the Finnish highlands, an environment where fishing, hunting and reindeer herding are a natural part of life. The still lifes of Dutch painters were also often linked to fishing and hunting. In fact, the fish is one of the oldest pictorial symbols, an early Christian symbol but also an important element in Finnish mythology. The connection to painting is further emphasized by Männikkö’s choice of frames. He chooses the frames for all his photographs himself. In the
earlier series, he used worn and broken frames that he bought at a flea market or found, while in the later suites he has created them himself, in darker tones and with a stronger character.
Even in the interiors, the choice of subject, section and composition are strongly reminiscent of classical genre painting. There are several similarities with, for example, Anders Zorn’s idealized paintings of cottage interiors in Dalarna. Just as in turn-of-the-century genre painting, Männikkö attempts to depict the everyday concerns of the common people. However, Zorn’s voluptuous Dalecarlians have been replaced by men in work clothes.
Esko Männikkö is represented in the collections of the Fondation Cartier, Paris, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki, Moderna Museet and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
He has had several exhibitions at Galerie Nordenhake in Stockholm and Berlin and at Yancey Richardson in New York, among others. In 2008 he was awarded the prestigious Deutsche Börse Photography Prize.

Ola Billgren
The painting presented in this auction, "Liggande kvinna" (Woman reclining) from 1995, incorporates precisely the elements we recognize from Ola Billgren's red period. A strongly reduced yet still recognizable image of a reclining female figure appears through layers of cadmium red that cover the canvas.
Billgren’s paintings are characterized by both duality and ambiguity, in terms of both expression and content, with a dreamlike presence that is unmistakable. His technique emphasizes this by always moving in the borderland between the realistic and the abstract—where these two opposites define Billgren as an artist.
His artistic career goes through several phases, or metamorphoses, which are reflected in his different periods. His early hyper-realistic painting later moves toward a less representational style and culminates in the red period, where the paintings are covered in a bright red color that confronts the viewer. Billgren chooses to reduce the original image, and with the addition of red, he creates a painting that has found its final form through processes of building up and reducing.
The artist himself expresses it this way in the catalog accompanying the 1996 exhibition at Galleri Engström:
“The task of painting is to be a discourse on seeing, not to classify natural objects. This was at least my starting point when, three years ago, I began experimenting with (quasi) monochrome painting in cadmium red. Initially, from the perspective of color experience, it seemed most appropriate to refrain from any representational content, but after some time of exploration, I changed my mind. I had become attached to the color red, mainly due to its paradoxical nature—it simultaneously pleases and attacks, flatters and humiliates the eye. It turned out that the interpretation of this relationship was enhanced by introducing an operator in the form of a simple motif, such as a portrait or interior (faces, furniture, etc.), which energetically appealed to the viewer and added a less peaceful meaning to the act of observation. In this way, by filling the referent’s place, I hope to say something about the visual necessity: about both the will to see and the will to be seen, and additionally to provide an uncensored version of the symbolic register of red. In other words, what I’m trying to do is, through some analysis, get the color to open up semantically, so that its more or less given meanings are illuminated in context.”

Rolf Hanson
The staircase Rolf Hanson uses as the starting point for his series Runtom trappa (Around staircase) is located in Montigny-sur-Loing in France. It is a set of stone steps depicted in one of Carl Fredrik Hill's most famous paintings from 1876. Rolf Hanson returned to the steps in Montigny in the 1990s when he created his first version of 'Runtom trappa'. In the series' thirteen paintings, perspective, depth, horizon, and color scheme shift. The first three paintings are painted from different angles, and we can identify the brick railing and the rugged stone blocks that also appear in Hill's painting. 'Runtom trappa IV-VI' are more focused, both in terms of the steps now in the foreground and in terms of color composition. In painting number VIII, the golden ochra glows, seemingly flowing down the steps. At the top, on the highest step, the image opens up toward a distant enchanting landscape in the background.
The painting currently up for auction is numbered XII and is one of the last three in the series. Now, the surface is back in focus, and we can only vaguely discern the staircase somewhere behind the dancing fields of colour. Hanson moves not only around the staircase but also deeper into the painting before zooming out again and blocking the picture space.
Rolf Hanson belongs to the generation of Swedish artists, born in the early 1950s, who entered art schools during the 1970s. They became part of a counter-movement, in a very politicized decade where art was judged by its moral content. Their bold and individualistic style of painting permeated the 1980s, which also saw the emergence of a new interest in art collecting driven by the financial markets.
Hanson's artistry has its roots in the national romantic landscape tradition, late romanticism, and symbolism, while his technique and expression are strongly influenced by the groundbreaking powerful painting of the 1950s and 1960s. The spotlight in the art world had shifted from Paris to the US and American action painting influenced a new generation of artists. Hanson's work is characterized by a glowing abstract expressionism that, combined with the large format of the paintings, almost overwhelms the viewer.
Ever since his first major solo exhibition at Moderna Museet in Stockholm in 1985, Hanson's painting has generated interest. In 1988, he was selected to represent Sweden at the Venice Biennale, and in 1995, his next museum exhibition took place at Rooseum in Malmö, where Lars Nittve was the director and curator. This was followed in 1998 by an exhibition at Kunsthalle Düsseldorf. In 2006, yet another museum exhibition followed, this time at Dunkers Kulturhus in Helsingborg. Today, Rolf Hanson is one of the most significant artists in the Swedish art scene of his generation, and in 2021, Rolf Hanson Retroactive opened at Artipelag outside Stockholm. The current painting, Runtom trappa XII, has been exhibited both at Dunkers Kulturhus and at the major exhibition at Artipelag.

Linn Fernström
Linn Fernström’s “Tre Målare” is a captivating work that invites the viewer to dive into the artist’s self-reflective world. In this painting, Fernström depicts herself in three different self-portraits, capturing the moment of painting dragonflies - a symbolic and recurring motif in her art. These self-portraits serve as portals to a deeper conversation about identity, creativity and the mysteries of nature, allowing the viewer to reflect on their own relationship to art and reality.
In “Tre Målare”, nature and animals are central elements. Birds soaring through the painting remind us of freedom and transcendence, while dragonflies represent fragility and transformation. At the same time, the child placed in the painting with the artist creates an additional dimension of innocence and wonder, which is characteristic of Fernström’s work. The painting’s subtle balance between the real and the unreal, between fantasy and the concrete presence of nature, gives a sense of being in a borderland where anything is possible.
In the present work, traditional representation is transcended and instead becomes a reminder of what lies beyond our senses. Fernström’s paintings are both delicate and powerful, capturing the viewer with their sharp detail and ability to illuminate existential questions. Through her skillful technique and artistic courage, she creates a world where the otherworldly and the everyday meet, inviting the viewer to confront questions about the nature of reality and dreams.
Fernström uses her body as a tool for storytelling, giving her work a deeply personal character. In the auction painting, she invites the viewer to explore both the inner and outer worlds, where the composition is both playful and serious. The dramatic contrast between the bright, open backgrounds and the lively, almost hypnotic figures makes the viewer completely absorbed in the work.
Linn Fernström, born in Örebro in 1974, is one of Sweden’s most prominent contemporary artists with a career that spans international galleries and institutions, including Liljevalchs Konsthall and the Venice Biennale. She studied at Idun Lovén and the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm (1995-2000) and made her breakthrough in 2001 at Lars Bohman Gallery. Her work, which often depicts people and animals in surrealist settings, explores themes such as death, love and man’s relationship with nature, which has captivated both Swedish and international viewers.
With its strong presence and complex expression, “Tre Målare” captures the essence of Linn Fernström’s art, where the boundaries between reality and fantasy are blurred, and the viewer is given the opportunity to meet both the artist and the universe she creates.

Anders Widoff
Anders Widoff works alternately with painting and sculpture. He often starts with simple, overlooked, and seemingly insignificant objects, repeatedly restoring their value. He gravitates toward the everyday, offering the viewer new ways to see a hidden meaning beyond the obvious.
In the work "Skånsk allmoge" he has depicted a piece of checkered textile, similar in style to the work Förtroende (Trust) created in 1992 and purchased by Moderna Museet. The title alludes to traditional Swedish folk craft, but the pattern evokes a more banal association with checkered shirt fabric. Widoff has moved away from the classicist painting of the late 1980s and, through sharp stylistic shifts, sought new directions in his artistry. Via museum installations and art investigations, he has continued to develop his ambition to make the viewer see the value in the forgotten and trivial. In the 1990s, he returned to realistic painting and created a series of large canvases featuring variations of checkered patterns.
Mårten Castenfors writes about Widoff’s realistic kitchen wax-cloth paintings in the Saltarvet Collection catalog, 2001:
'With its carefully painted pattern, Widoff has created a tribute to the familiar plastic tablecloth found on kitchen tables, an illusion that also contains hints of stains and traces of daily life. Through his painting, Widoff has found a crossroad between realism and classic minimalism while simultaneously bringing art down from its high pedestal by sincerely emphasizing tangibility, everydayness, and materiality.'
Anders Widoff has exhibited both nationally and internationally since the late 1970s. In Sweden, he has had solo exhibitions at, among others, Moderna Museet and Liljevalchs Konsthall, and abroad at institutions such as Wiener Secession and Overbeck-Gesellschaft in Lübeck. He has also worked for many years as a professor at Konstfack and the Oslo National Academy of the Arts.

Dick Bengtsson
In Dick Bengtsson’s early work 'Winter in Bandhagen,' a seemingly abandoned high-rise towers over a desolate space, emptied of people. The image appears to be a commentary on post-war social engineering in Stockholm, where attempts were made to solve the severe housing shortage by creating entirely new communities outside the city center. The color palette is muted, and the apocalyptic atmosphere is heightened by the two warships that seem to be placed in the fountain of the open space. The foreground is framed by a series of symbols, heraldic signs, graffiti, and fragments of abstract compositions. It is a rebus, a reverse allegory that opens up a labyrinth of interpretations, depending on which position one chooses. With his enigmatic paintings, Dick Bengtsson has, since the sixties and with renewed strength today, fascinated and impacted new generations of viewers.
Mårten Castenfors writes in the foreword to Saks’ publication 'Dick Bengtsson,' 2005:
'Like few others, the self-taught Bengtsson, with his fragmentary painting and cryptic installations, has inspired and fascinated a younger generation of artists. With his symbols, his at times provocative swastikas, and his paintings patinated by ironing, Bengtsson emerges as an iconoclast, but also as a rational romantic, as complex as he is playful, as bold as he is strict. Bengtsson’s painting and installations strike with great mystery, sweeping in the memory of the past, while this memory also foreshadows a welfare state on the brink of collapse.'
In front of a work by Dick Bengtsson, one is never quite sure of the meaning of the various components. His art is filled with mystery and poses more questions than it answers. In his multi-layered world, one is forced to challenge values and patterns of association; it demands the viewer’s full attention. It is difficult to distinguish between truth and fantasy, and he himself described his paintings as a form of reality distortion. A sharp observation of details is combined with charged symbols and visual elements in a spatial depiction that is highly unclear. The fall of light adds to the mystery, seeming to come from within the motif, and there are no clear shadows.
Douglas Feuk has described Dick Bengtsson’s motifs as neither created after nature nor according to any traditional rules of art. The artist’s imagination required support from photographic templates, which could be images from magazines, art books, encyclopedias, or similar, forming
the basis for a new painting. The template was transformed into a line drawing that, through a laborious copying technique, was transferred and enlarged to the desired format. Consequently, no sketches existed; what was preserved in the artist’s archive were line drawings and the transparent or grid-lined papers used in the process.
Dick Bengtsson is one of the country’s most important and influential artists. With his critique of modernism’s over-reliance on a single truth, he was an early precursor of postmodernism. By never accepting that there is only one correct way to interpret something, his art raised previously unaddressed questions. He is said to have remarked, 'The problems begin outside the picture frames.' His fellow artists and a circle of collectors and museum professionals recognized his greatness even during his short lifetime, and he was spoken of as an 'artist’s artist.' Even today, we see clear traces of his influence on contemporary Swedish art.
The Swedish artist Mamma Andersson describes her first encounter with Dick Bengtsson’s art when she worked as a museum guard in the 1980s: 'For several years, I started my workdays with a cup of coffee and a look through the worn-out 1983 catalog from Moderna Museet. It’s hard to pinpoint what it was that captivated me so much. One thing is certain: it was liberating to encounter an artist who was so unpretentious, independent, and completely unsentimental. Painting after painting is made in an awkward, slow, and hauntingly beautiful way. Suddenly, everything was allowed and forgiven; it was just a matter of painting and trusting your innermost dreams and nightmares. I had a feeling that he disregarded the established rules of painting and trusted only himself.'

Karin Broos
“Hoppet” by Karin Broos is an evocative painting that delves into the artist’s typical themes - the shadows of the past, the charged moments of everyday life and the liminal state between action and reflection. In the painting, we see a boy about to jump, or perhaps rather hesitating before his leap, accompanied by a dog at the water’s edge. The reflective surface of the water, a recurring motif in Broos’ work, carries a deep symbolism here, where water stands as a metaphor for transitions - between solid and liquid, between dream and reality, between childhood and adulthood. Water, so central to Broos’ art, functions not only as an external reflection of nature, but also as a place for spiritual reflection and introspection. The shiny surface lures the viewer into a space of uncertainty, a space between the known and the unknown. In “Hoppet”, Broos moves beyond the clearly depicted motifs and opens up for a deeper, almost philosophical, reflection on what it means to be human - and in this case a child - in an existence that is always in flux. The boy’s hesitant steps suggest both playfulness and seriousness, and as in many of her works, there is a charged undertone that carries questions about what has happened the moment before and what might happen. Karin Broos has often been described as an artist who, with clear lines and skillful execution, encapsulates the ambiguous. Her paintings are, as art critic Ingela Lind put it, like a ballad or a blues - melancholic and repetitive, but at the same time charged with existential questions. Broos’ subjects are often taken from her immediate surroundingsdaughters, grandchildren, dogs, the landscape around Lake Fryken in Värmland - but they are never simply idyllic.

Jockum Nordström
- "I have a lot–a lot–of books, a lot of records all over. When I make a collage, I cut first. I’m always cutting, and cutting for me is relaxing. I started with this maybe 25 years ago. You cut, and then you paint, and if a [piece] is not the right shape, you cut a little more; take off the head, make a new head. There’s a lot of freedom, it’s playful."
(Jockum Nordström in an interview with Laird Borrelli-Persson for Vogue, 2017)
The work Chest of Drawers belongs to Jockum Nordström’s series of collages executed in his well-known and typical mixed media technique; figures and characters cut out of watercoloured paper with elements of pencil. His works on paper can be read as a storyboard, a comic-like sequence representing the shots planned for a film. All the action takes place simultaneously within the frozen frames of his stills. The composition
in Chest of Drawers is characteristically split in two. The bright left half contains cut-out figures, piles of boards, a horse, and a house placed among the treetops. It is a scene full of dreams and plans. In the right half, the finished chest of drawers stands out against a pitch-black background. An odd solitary figure takes in the piece of furniture with a somewhat surprised expression on his face. The silhouette of the recurring tree is visible behind him, and its crown has grown to obscure the house on the horizon.
Jockum Nordström’s intriguing and witty collages have for decades captivated collectors and art critics around the world. His playful, tableau-like environments appear as scenes filled with unique figures, animals, architecture, furniture, musical instruments, and other props. Everything varies in scale and composition. The naivety and mischief in Jockum Nordström’s art are sincere yet simultaneously double-edged.
In the cracks of carefreeness, traces of ennui and sometimes death anxiety seep through.
The artist has a classical education from his time at Konstfack in Stockholm from 1981 to 1985 and the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm from 1985 to 1990. Nordström uses this education as his own unique palette, and within his artistry lies a universe of paintings, drawings, paper sculptures, children's books, illustrations, and poetry collections.
Jockum Nordström is one of a small group of Swedish artists who have achieved significant international success. He is affiliated with the prestigious galleries David Zwirner (New York), Zeno X (Antwerp), and Anthony Meier (San Francisco). In Sweden, he is represented by Galleri Magnus Karlsson.

Rolf Hanson
Lars Nittve writes in the foreword to the exhibition "Rolf Hanson - Retroactive" at Artipelag in 2021:
“I think about Rolf Hanson's colors. What is it that makes one always recognize a painting by Hanson – despite them appearing outwardly different? Often abstract, rhythmic, somehow intricately pieced together, thoroughly kneaded, but sometimes, as we've seen, also skewedly figurative, remarkably halting, yet still whole? The color schemes can, as we’ve noted, vary from the almost monochromatic, perhaps heavily, darkly red like the triptych Beoumga (1991), to completely bursting with color, like a firework display. Yet there remains a certain thread connecting works from Woolai to later beauties like Hic et Num 2015 and Hic et Num 2013. One can certainly recognize a preference for certain colors, such as golden ochre and perhaps different shades of blue or oxblood red, but it’s mostly about the tonality in various chords, right? Again, this jazz?”
Lars Nittve likens Rolf Hanson's painting to a form of virtual jazz, a sophisticated musical genre with great complexity and variation. In today's accelerating world of visual image consumption, viewers seek to move beyond the superficial, drawing deeper stimulation from the complex interplay between disparate components within a work.
In the series Superficie Picturata, Rolf Hanson returns to a color palette reminiscent of the 1980s. Warm orange, dark red, and sections of golden ochre are balanced with accents in grey-blue, stabilizing the composition. The spatial depth in the background seems blocked, and Hanson once again achieves a compact visual surface. The title Superficie Picturata suggests just that—a painted surface or a superficial painting. Yet the result is anything but superficial. Hanson's painting holds a glowing abstract expressionism, where the color fields are pieced together in a multifaceted rhythm. The bold and individualistic style, combined with the large format, overwhelms the viewer.
Since his first major solo exhibition at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm in 1985, Hanson’s painting has generated significant interest. In 1988, he was chosen to represent Sweden at the Venice Biennale, and in 1995, it was time for his next museum exhibition, this time at Rooseum in Malmö, where Lars Nittve was director and curator. This was followed in 1998 by an exhibition at Kunsthalle Düsseldorf. In 2006, another museum exhibition was held at Dunkers Kulturhus in Helsingborg. Today, Rolf Hanson is one of the most important artists of his generation in Swedish art, and in 2021, "Rolf Hanson Retroactive" opened at Artipelag outside Stockholm, the most extensive exhibition of his works to date.

Torsten Andersson
Torsten Andersson was one of Sweden’s most enigmatic artists, celebrated by critics and colleagues, an inspiration to many, but also known for destroying much of what he created. His paintings may sometimes appear hasty, but for each painting, he often made hundreds of sketches and trial paintings. Then he would burn everything that didn’t meet his standards. His self-criticism led him to ”obliterate” paintings that had been completed for many years and exhibited in several museums and art galleries. Lars Nittve, as the director of the Moderna Museet, wrote the following: ”Out of a hundred working drawings, ninety are destroyed. The surviving ten drawings give rise to a hundred new ones, of which ninety are destroyed. Twenty drawings remain. Sixteen of these are destroyed. Four remain. They continue in the working process, become paintings, with no guarantee of survival.”
Torsten Andersson studied at Otte Sköld’s painting school in 1945, at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1947, and from 1946 to 1950 at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, where he was appointed a professor at an exceptionally young age in 1960. He was twice awarded
the Carnegie Art Award: the first prize of one million Swedish kronor in 2008 and the third prize in 1998. He was also awarded the 1997 Schock Prize in Art.
In his early paintings, he depicted portraits of abstract objects inspired by nature, seeking to rediscover the possibilities of painting after modernism, in a new era. Slowly but surely, he began to develop his own language and freed himself from predecessors and the prevailing tradition. After many years of silence, in the 1980s, he exhibited a series of paintings of abstract sculptures with a poetic origin. Over time, the motifs became concrete sculptures, and in the early 2000s, his canvases were filled with soft textile forms and symbols. His language evolved and solidified.
In the 1990s, he donated around twenty large paintings to the Malmö Art Museum, which boasts the most significant collection of Torsten Andersson’s art. He is also represented in several important private collections, as well as at the Moderna Museet and the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm and the Helsingborg Museum.

Ola Billgren
Monica Nieckels writes this about Ola Billgren:
”Ola Billgren, 1940–2001 was, during his years as a painter, the artist who first and most notably formulated the relationship between art as language and reality. He has been referred to as a theorist and a sensualist, and he was able to capture the historical and contemporary upon one singluar canvas.
After the era of experimental period of photorealism between the 60s and 70s, Billgren became overwhelmed by large scale compositions and impressionistic colour schemes of romanitc painting in the 1980s.
According to his titles, there hides city landscapes beneath his colours. We see the city as abstraction or dream, only sensed through the feeling and atmosphere that have lingered. The perspective is distant and slightly from above, as seen from an airplane descending that has just emerged from a cloud.
A painting that, like music, evokes a specific feeling during a given time and allows the viewer/listener to project their own images, passions, and dreams. The city and landscape become increasingly clear and intense for the observer as the process progresses over time. The eye’s limited field of vision prevents the gaze from penetrating through the color as the feeling can. Through the language of art, other pathways into the painting and the image are opened that sight alone cannot achieve. The white city entices us behind its veils.”
The late 1980s was an important period in the artist’s development, where he continued to deepen his work with painting, combining abstraction and realism in a unique way. As Nieckels writes, his painting transitioned from the photorealistic style of the 1960s and 70s to a more romantically influenced painting style in the 1980s. He created atmospheric and dreamlike cityscapes, where some parts of the landscapes were sharp and detailed, while others dissolved into color and light. Many of his works from the 1980s demonstrated a fascination with the poetic and enigmatic nature of urban environments, where silence and stillness became prominent features.
An example of this style is ”Townscape, SPA,” which clearly shows his characteristic blend of photorealism and abstraction. These works often evoked a sense of distance, conveying both nostalgia and contemporaneity.

Linn Fernström
Linn Fernström is an artist of contrasts. Extremes find room on her large canvases; beauty meets the grotesque, the idyllic clashes with the frightening, the delicate mixes with the powerful, and the large interacts with the small. Fernström's visual world is reminiscent of a dream, eerie and pleasurable at the same time. With light brushstrokes, a vibrant palette, and an airy composition, themes such as death and love are addressed. In this powerful composition, Linn Fernström rests on an art historical foundation where her way of viewing the world and her sensitivity to details create magic from the mundane. She combines elements from earlier works with new impressions of places and people from her travels. Like a child's unpretentious way of experiencing their surroundings, the artist lets life's marvels generate dreams and fantasies in a recognizable environment.
Karin Holm writes about the exhibition "Tvåstigsvandra i solsystem" in Hallands Nyheter on 19 July 2010.
"Successful Linn Fernström has over the years returned to Galleri Arnstedt, where she first exhibited as a newly graduated from the Art Academy in 2000. This year she calls the exhibition 'Tvåstigsvandra i solsystem' where drawings and paintings are in dialogue.
– It's a new way for me to work. I got inspiration during a trip to Houston when I saw images by the American artist Cy Twombly, she says before the opening in the former mill in Östra Karup.
In the bright rooms with rough concrete floors, the works give the impression of lifting off the walls. Linn Fernström's familiar flowers and small creatures contrast against the graphite drawing, and the images gain a narrative depth. As before, the artist herself appears in some works, but she also chooses to portray others, often people she has captured with her camera on trips. Animals also continue to play a central role."
Bukowskis has previously sold one of the drawings, a detail from "Bland ruiner" (Among Ruins), a portrait of the woman in the lower right of the canvas, executed in charcoal/graphite on paper 66 x 50 cm.

Jockum Nordström
Jockum Nordström is an artist who constantly plays with the boundaries between fantasy and reality. His work, through drawings, collages and paintings, contains a world of its own where every line and gesture has its function and meaning. There is a sense of both playfulness and seriousness in his work, where the naïve and the surreal meet, and where his sensual materials - water tones, organic shapes and flows of colourdraw the viewer into a dreamlike world of stories.
In the auction’s work Bubu, we get a direct insight into Jockum Nordström’s universe. The title Bubu is a reminder of the rebellious spirit of Dadaism, and the two open coffins in the work raise a question: Have the figures
escaped from their coffins, or are they on their way there? This mystery is characteristic of Nordström’s art, where nothing is entirely predictable and the narrative constantly changes depending on the viewer’s eyes.
Jockum Nordström is a master at balancing the childlike and the adult, the supernatural and the mundane. His drawings and paintings, with their muted colours and tactile materials, offer a sense of intimacy, while at the same time telling a larger, more universal story.

Lukas Göthman
Lukas Göthman’s artistry focuses on series of journeys, self experienced selected realities or made up by fiction and dreams. His works are often featured as texts; short stories, a title or a phrase repeated to create an abstract composition.
Göthman investigates the visual effect of words and letters. Sentence by sentence build an intriguing visual composition set over a monocrome of colour. Curves and impressions of varying fields of depth are realised following a simple set of self imposed rules. Other series of works investigate the landscape, creating dreamlike illusions. It is the artist’s
very private world of thought or emotion in which viewers are immersed through the intensity of the colour scheme and expressive texts in his works. (Bjökholmen Gallery, Stockholm).

Elis Eriksson
The auction’s work, ‘nått av låd, innehåll (nr 15)’ from 1962, is part of the series of 30 ‘boxes’ with collage and typewriting from the exhibition ‘5 kronor å sex öre’ at Galerie Burén in 1963. The series is an intricate diary, a camouflaged documentation of a private sequence of events, involving the break-up of a thirty-year marriage and the birth of a daughter in a new and short-lived relationship.
The details and room plans of three different apartments in Stockholm are described in great detail. Arrows mark movements within the rooms and between the home and the studio at Döbelnsgatan 63, Gottes’ studio, which he borrowed from Bertil Gottsén, at Bastugatan 12B and Rosengatan 1, where the artist with whom Eriksson socialised lived. Cut-out strips of typewritten text form a poetic carpet of thoughts and snippets of conversations that were held. Some words are coded and interspersed in the texts. The orange that is often mentioned is the growing foetus. The fox that appears several times in the work in question is a special fox boa with a buckle. The fact that all the boxes in the series form a whole is confirmed by references to other boxes in the works. For example, ‘see front cover of no. 14’ and ‘the box is on a chair under the disc of no.14 ...detail.’
The peculiar way of writing is one of the most distinctive features of Eriksson’s oeuvre. It is a language game, in which words are axed, spelt as they sound and stacked like dominoes one after the other. The artist himself never wanted to describe this language as elaborate, but claimed that the expression came to him during his work.
At this time in the early 1960s, avant-garde and experimental poetry was flowing, both delighting and upsetting its readers. Eriksson was one of the participants in the artist group Svisch, which travelled around the country performing literary happenings and holding exhibitions of concrete poetry. The group also included Öyvind Fahlström, Bengt Emil Johnson and Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd. In concrete poetry, in addition to their semantic meaning, words also have a role as components in a visual experience. Words and sentences are taken apart and strewn across the pages in artistic figurations. The typewriter is used extensively, and edits and overwrites result in impenetrable carpets of letters and words. Other poems were designed as pure image collages, some were theatre texts or acoustic experiences. The boundaries between genres and art forms were erased.
Jan Olov Ullén writes in an underline in SvD ‘Poetry that combined seriousness with playfulness’ 2005-06-23: ‘But it was certainly a wonderful time, when Hans Alfredson and Tage Danielsson developed Svenska Ord, Lasse O’Månsson challenged with fool programmes on the radio and Karl Erik Welin blew up a piano at Moderna museet. Framed by poets, who sometimes semaphore their texts, sometimes perform them in chorus.’
With the radical politicisation of the cultural climate that occurred in the mid-1960s, concrete poetry almost completely disappeared. Elis Eriksson continued with the image and the language linked together and in 1965 came the story of ‘Indijaner å en kåvboj’, a series of drawings that told the fantastic and funny story of the hero Pavan.

Yves Klein
Yves Klein (1928-1962) was one of the leading figures of the Neorealism art movement and is best known today for his Klein blue objects. During his all-too-brief life, he was also a pioneer of performance art, the most subversive art movement after Cubism.
He conquered the azure sky by simply claiming to have invented its colour, International Klein Blue (IKB), which he did in 1957. In a 1959 lecture at the Sorbonne, Klein said that the blue monochromes are recognisable and similar in appearance, yet unique and different from each other.
Klein used the blue colour as a means to capture immateriality and infinity. His celebrated, more-blue-than-blue hue, radiates colourful waves of blue that propagate through his oeuvre. Klein’s innovative and almost spiritual art form broke down boundaries between conceptual art, sculpture, painting and performance. His works, deeply characterised by the dualism between action and ritual, continue to influence and fascinate art lovers worldwide.
He set out on his ‘adventure into monochrome’, influenced by Japanese philosophy and art. By combining the rigor and discipline of judo with the free and provocative expression of art, Klein wanted to ‘liberate colour from the prison of lines’. One interpretation of what drove Klein was the ‘allness’. To be able to embrace and own the beautiful.
Klein was initially a dedicated practitioner of the martial art of judo. He received his black belt at the age of 24 from the Kôdôkan Institute in Tokyo in 1952. He was the only Westerner to achieve such a level of discipline and skill at the time. Klein continued his passionate career as a practitioner of judo, teaching at the Spanish Judo Federation in Madrid, writing the book ‘Le Fondements du Judo’ (The Foundations of Judo), and opening his own judo school in Paris. It was only then, back in Paris in 1954, that he began to devote himself wholeheartedly to his second passion in life: art.
Between May 1954 and June 6, 1962, the date of his death, Yves Klein dedicated his life to groundbreaking art that marked his era and still captivates audiences today.

Hermann Nitsch
Hermann Nitsch was an Austrian artist and one of the most prominent figures in the Viennese Actionism movement, an avant-garde artistic movement that emerged in Vienna in the 1960s and was active until the early 1970s. It became known for its often provocative performances and art actions that challenged conventional ideas about art, morality, and society. Nitsch's artistic work is characterized by a strong connection to rituals, symbolism, and physical actions, often in the form of performance art and abstract paintings. His works explore themes such as life, death, pain, and suffering, and he frequently used blood, meat, and other bodily materials in his works to provoke and explore these existential subjects.
"Schüttbild" from 1983 is one of Nitsch's so-called action paintings, marked by his unique and powerful style where paint is thrown, spilled, and smeared across the canvas. The term "Schüttbild" roughly translates to "throw painting" or "pouring painting," and the technique involves the artist pouring or throwing paint over the surface in a raw and impulsive manner, giving the painting an energetic and dynamic feel. Hermann Nitsch began developing his own form of action painting in the 1960s, in conjunction with his activity within Viennese Actionism. Action painting for Nitsch was an extension of his interest in ritual actions and physicality within art. Inspired by abstract expressionism, where the act of painting itself became central, Nitsch created his own version by physically throwing or pouring paint onto the canvas. For him, painting became a ritual and bodily act that was as significant as the final artwork itself.

Christo
For over 50 years, the two artists Christo (1935-2020) and Jeanne-Claude (1935-2009) worked together. Their gigantic and astonishing art projects of urban and landscape elements made them world famous. They mastered the entire creative process from conception and documentation to realization.
Through their temporary transformations, Christo and Jeanne-Claude wanted to redefine objects, buildings and landscapes as art, while at the same time expressing a change in the meaning and space of art. To obtain permission to carry out their white wrapping of the Pont-Neuf in Paris, Christo and Jeanne-Claude visited the shops located at the foot of the bridge and convinced the shop owners that the project would be good for their business. At the same time, Christo encouraged the shop owners to write to the then Mayor Jacques Chirac to express their support for the project. When the Pont-Neuf was finally wrapped up in 1985 - after a long period of negotiation and planning (including a 'trial wrap' of another bridge to test its feasibility in practice) - it abruptly changed the face of the city, replacing the historic bridge with a completely alien shape. Christo and Jeanne-Claude's artistic work is not primarily driven by a desire to make art objects, but also by a need to artistically intervene in a place and create a dialog with its history.
The temporary installations that make up the works themselves are the result of years of preparation, with the methodology and creative process captured in the sketches, photographs and collages that have become works of art in their own right. They all have their own value and document the artistic development of the project. The work in the auction “The Pont Neuf, Wrapped (Project for Paris)” from 1980 is one such original work.
The temporary work was funded entirely by the artists themselves and ran from 1975 to 1985. Wrapping the Pont-Neuf continued this tradition of successive metamorphoses through a new sculptural dimension, transforming it, for 14 days in September 1985, into a work of art. Ropes held down the fabric against the metal, maintaining the main forms, while emphasizing the proportions and details of the Pont-Neuf, which has united the left and right banks and the Île de la Cité, the heart of Paris, for over 400 years.

Jim Dine
The painting ”Pinocchio’s Unhappiness About Those He Cares About” is part of Jim Dine’s extensive and deeply personal artistic exploration of the Pinocchio theme, a motif that has become central to his oeuvre. Like other recurring symbols in Dine’s work—hearts, tools, and brushes—Pinocchio has evolved into a vital element of his artistic language. Through these symbols, Dine delves into profound themes such as love, vulnerability, human flaws, and the intricacies of the creative process.
Dine’s fascination with Pinocchio began in the mid-1990s, heavily influenced by Carlo Collodi’s original, darker version of the tale. For Dine, Pinocchio represents more than just a wooden puppet longing to become a real boy—he sees the figure as a metaphor for the creative process itself. Like Geppetto, who brings Pinocchio to life, Dine views the role of the artist as an alchemical process, where raw materials are transformed into something alive and meaningful. Pinocchio’s character embodies a duality that captivates Dine—on the one hand, innocent and full of longing; on the other, flawed, irresponsible, and at times painfully human. This complexity permeates ”Pinocchio’s Unhappiness About Those He Cares About”, where the painting’s dark tone and title suggest emotional pain and reflection on relationships and responsibility.
Throughout the years, Dine has created numerous works featuring Pinocchio, including paintings, sculptures, and lithographs. Each work, despite the recurring motifs, is unique in its composition and color palette. Dine describes his creative process as one of continuous revision, with layers of paint and texture being added, removed, and altered until the piece reaches its final form. By constantly renewing and reworking his art, Dine imbues his pieces with a sense of movement and evolution, where every brushstroke or fragment of sculpture deepens the themes he explores.
With over 300 exhibitions worldwide, including retrospectives at prestigious institutions like the Whitney Museum of American Art (1970) and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, (1978) Jim Dine has solidified his place as one of the most influential artists of our time. His works are housed in many of the world’s most important art collections, and his exploration of the Pinocchio theme has become a central element of his extensive body of work. ”Pinocchio’s Unhappiness About Those He Cares About” is a powerful example of Dine’s ability to intertwine the personal with the universal, and through his motifs, explore the depth and complexity of the human experience.

Francesco Vezzoli
Mae West is an icon, movie star and sex symbol, who has appeared in Vezzoli’s art before, but also in the work of several other artists. One of his own role models, Salvador Dalí, designed his “The Mae West Lips Sofa” in 1937 so that he could be symbolically encased by the lips of his Hollywood heroine. In the auction, West’s idol portrait is mixed with Vezzoli’s characteristic embroidered tears, collages and a thick gold frame.
Where does his fascination with these female divas come from? In 2009, the exhibition ’Dalí Dalí featuring Francesco Vezzoli’ was shown at Moderna Museet in Stockholm. The curator of the exhibition, John Peter Nilsson, asked him about this:
“JPN: Tell us a bit about your obsession with aged female divas. What do they have in common other than that they are women who seem to have lost their former importance because they have grown old?
FV: Artists are divas themselves, and like actresses, they are afraid of aging. Perhaps I saw in those tearful eyes a reflection of my own fears...”
Although Vezzoli works in a range of genres and media, embroidery is one of his key characteristics. While studying at Central St. Martin’s School of Art in London he transformed 20th-century masterpieces by Mark Rothko and Josef Albers into small embroideries. On his return to Italy, he made his first series of films entitled ’An Embroidered Trilogy’ (1997-99). He was inspired by famous actors who embroidered in their spare time and between takes, such as Joan Crawford, Cary Grant and Greta Garbo. In his films, he likes to have his characters, including himself, sit on furniture embroidered by Italian stars or royalty.
The diva embodies the rare, the extravagant and the exceptional. They are constantly on the border between life and theater. The contrast between a person in a position of power, with a career in the spotlight, and a person doing traditional needle and thread work is intriguing. The boundaries are softened, even those between male and female. Similarly, Vezzoli’s films and self-portraits are characterized by the fluidity of gender roles and sexuality, as well as the possibilities and limitations offered to us humans in contemporary popular culture.

Louise Bourgeois
The ’Femme Maison’ (1946–47) series of paintings by French American artist Louise Bourgeois address the question of female identity. In these paintings, the heads and bodies of nude female figures have been replaced by architectural forms such as buildings and houses. ’Femme Maison’ translates from the French as ‘housewife’ or literally, ‘woman house’. More than 20 years later the series sparked a collaboration between gallery owner Maria Fluxà and Louise Bourgeois. The Spanish gallery owner and collector Fluxà first encountered Bourgeois’s work at the 1982 MoMA retrospective and felt an emotional connection to the ’Femme Maison’. ’When I discovered Femme Maison I felt understood. Someone who did not know me had drawn a portrait of me’, she has said. Fluxà then began collecting Bourgeois’s work, which she displayed in her gallery, Lluc Fluxà, in Palma de Mallorca. She later met the artist, which led to discussions about a possible collaboration between the two. The illustrated book, ”Metamorfosis” was the result of this encounter. The subject matter of the book involves Fluxá’s background, including the fact that her father ran an important shoe manufacturing business owned by the family. Fluxà had a difficult relationship with her father, a problem that Bourgeois could relate to. The patriarchal father contributed largely to her feelings of inferiority, addressed in both her performance and in “Metamorfosis.”The book was published by Galerie Lelong, Paris, in 1999 and it contained texts by Fluxà and original engravings by Louise Bourgeois. The book’s illustrations include images of feet and shoes and Fluxá also sent Bourgeois a pair of wooden shoe forms. The watercolour by Bourgeois in this auction was executed in 1997. It was during this time that Fluxà traveled to New York twice a year to work with Bourgeois. A dignified woman is portrayed with a string of pearls around her neck. Her face is replaced by the bright red sole of a shoe. A few strands of hair stand straight up from the top of her head. This ’Femme Maison’ is not trapped in an architectural structure but portrayed as an upright red-hot propagator of the feminist movement.
