Meet Us in Paris!
For the fifth time, Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers will be presenting an exhibition at Drouot in Paris with art and design from our upcoming international auction. The exhibition “French Danish Connections” takes place on 21-22 September. Everyone is welcome.
“This time we focus on artwork from Danish collections related to France, which includes prominent names such as Pierre Alechinsky, André Marfaing, César Baldaccini, Paul Gauguin, Niki de Saint-Phalle, Jésus Raphaël Soto, Maurice Estève, Jean Tinguely, Maryan, Pierre Wemaëre and many, many more”, says Niels Raben, head of the modern art department at Bruun Rasmussen.
From Finn Juhl to Piero Manzoni
Design enthusiasts also have something to look forward to with Finn Juhl’s unique ”Dream Table” and the rare ”FJ 44” chair. You can also get acquainted with one of the Japanse artist Tetsumi Kudo's quirky cages, and at the same time, we have a sneak preview of the highlight from the year’s final international auction – the Italian artist Piero Manzoni’s spectacular "Achrome" from 1961.

Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers is one of Scandinavia’s leading international auction houses, and one of Denmark’s oldest. It all started on 6 October 1948, when Arne Bruun Rasmussen conducted the first traditional auction in the saleroom at Bredgade 33 in Copenhagen. Today, Jesper Bruun Rasmussen stands at the helm of the family-run business together with the third generation of the family, his son Frederik and daughter Alexa, and the company’s CEO Jakob Dupont.
In 2004, the first online auction was launched, and today the auction house has expanded to include departments in Copenhagen and Aarhus and representations in Sweden, Germany, France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Spain, Italy, Thailand and the US. About 100,000 lots are put up for auction each year at the traditional auctions and daily online auctions. Here you can bid on everything from art, antiques, modern design and jewellery to books, coins, stamps, wine and weaponry.
