On Monday afternoon, September 25th, a new world record was set for J.A.G. Acke's monumental "Eastern Salt" at Stockholms Auktionsverk. The iconic art piece, with an asking price set at 800,000-1,000,000 SEK, went under the gavel before a packed auction hall at Nybrogatan 32 in Stockholm and was sold for 1,350,000 SEK after intense bidding.
"The foreign interest in Swedish art from this time makes this generation of artists highly relevant. Americans, French, and British – everyone was looking for the Nordic light, and Acke was one of its main representatives."
