Support the Talented Artists of the Future

The talented artists of the future will be given the full spotlight when Bruun Rasmussen, in collaboration with the Copenhagen Photo Festival, swings the hammer over a selection of works from the censored exhibition at the photo festival.

Hopefully lightning will strike when Bruun Rasmussen, in collaboration with the Copenhagen Photo Festival, swings the hammer over a selection of works from the festival’s censored exhibition on 7 June at 7:30 pm at The Understation in Copenhagen.

Support the Talented Youth

At the auction you not only have the chance to purchase photo art from up-and-coming artists at very reasonable prices, you also get to directly support the talented artists. “We hope that a lot of people will come and contribute to a good atmosphere and hopefully also buy something elegant for the wall or art collection at home, so that we can put photo art and the new talent firmly on the map here in Denmark,” says Head of department of photography, Christine Almlund.

Making the Cut

Among more than 1800 submitted proposals, a number of works were selected by a jury consisting of Curator and Director of Gallery Image in Aarhus Beate Cegielska, photographer, video and visual artist Tina Enghoff, and art and cultural journalist Torben Sangild. The final selection that made the cut were created by talented young photographers from around the world and can be experienced throughout the festival period from 1 to 11 June at the old transformer station The Understation on Østerbro, Copenhagen.

In connection with the auction Bruun Rasmussen will launch a special photo blog, “The Fine Photograph”, where larger and smaller news items and experiences with photography will be shared. In connection with the festival, the blog will be updated with articles about the individual artists and the auction on 7 June.

You can already now view and bid on the works on bruun-rasmussen.dk. The auction ends with an exciting live event in the middle of the festival week, where we warm up with a DJ and drinks from 6:30 pm. The auction itself will begin at 7:30 pm.

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.

Bruun Rasmussen – Part of the Bonhams Network

"Going once, going twice. Sold to the lady in the front row". For more than 75 years, the auction house Bruun Rasmussen has sold art, antiques, design, jewellery, wristwatches and collector’s items such as wine, books, coins and stamps. After having been family-owned through three generations, we were bought in 2022 by the English auction house Bonhams, which was founded in England in 1793 and is today one of the world's leading auction houses. We are now part of an international network with a global reach, and we present and sell art where it makes the most sense in relation to potential buyers. This also means that through the network we offer more than 60 categories of items at our auctions.

Art and credibility are at the heart of everything we do. The work in the auction house places great demands on our knowledge of art and trends on the market. Our specialists are the most experienced and competent in the industry, and in the Bonhams Network we share knowledge and communicate across national borders with a large number of international specialists. This way, we can provide the best valuation and advice that have become our trademark – and thereby offer the best lots from all categories and achieve the highest hammer prices for the benefit of our customers.

Tradition and innovation go hand in hand. At Bruun Rasmussen, we are one of Europe's most modern and digital auction houses, and it is only natural for us to adapt to changes in the market. Innovation is part of our DNA, while we are also deeply rooted in our history. The foundation of the company rests on our two types of auctions – Online Auction and Live Auction. Every week we put more than a thousand lots up for auction at bruun-rasmussen.dk, and several times a year we present exclusive lots live in our saleroom. We are proud to sell art and design in virtually every category and price range to and for people all over the world who are driven by the same passion as we are.

We want to be a living centre of culture, and since the autumn of 2023, we have been located in Lyngby north of Copenhagen in a new, modern domicile. Here you can not only explore among all the art objects on display and bid on the exciting auctions, you can also meet our specialists, get an estimate on your own items, consign them for auction, listen to exciting lectures and participate in cultural events. We also have branches in Aarhus and Glostrup and regularly go on valuation trips around Denmark and abroad. Our goal is to always be available and for everyone to have a good experience in our auction house.

Welcome to Bruun Rasmussen – we can help you make a good purchase or achieve a great sale!
