There was a great demand for world-class modern art at the international auction at Bruun Rasmussen in Copenhagen, where a work by the Italian artist Paolo Scheggi was sold for DKK 2.5 million. Other surprises among the auction results include works by Fernand Léger, Jan Křížek and Tetsumi Kudo, as well as a world record on a painting by Alan Uglow.
While the famous art fair "Biennale des Antiquaires" is being held at the Grand Palais, Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers of Fine Art will for the third time exhibit its most coveted paintings and furniture pieces at the auction association Drouot in Paris. This time there is a special focus on international avant-garde art from the 1960s to the 70s.
A newly discovered work from the early 1960s by the Italian avant garde artist Paolo Scheggi (1940-71) has found its way to Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers of Fine Art and will be auctioned off in September 2016. The hitherto unknown work has been in a private Danish collection, and prior to the sale it has recently been registered with the Associazione Paolo Scheggi in Milan.
