Yes, we're still in Denmark. Great coffee, marzipan desserts, wonderful antiques . . . why move on before we're ready?
Bruun Rasmussen is the big kid auction house in Copenhagen. Even though Lauritz claims to the be the largest, my sense is that with their internet-based rise, they're the upstart; Bruun Rasmussen, opened in 1948, is the more traditional, with sophistication equivalent to Christie's and Sotheby's. One of the top ten auction houses in the world (according to their site) they have four galleries in Denmark, hold over 40 auctions a year, and are represented in Sweden, France, Spain and the USA.
If you want Danish modern, go to the source. If you can't afford to have it shipped, Bruun Rasmussen has a nice website with several photos of each lot, and a zoom feature, so you can at least drool. Everything's in English, too, so you know what you're missing. I appreciate their search agent, which sends me updates if an artist I've listed for appears for sale.
