Fine Art Auction
Modern Art & Design Helsinki
3 November
Finally, it’s here – the catalogue for the fall auction Modern Art & Design!
We are excited to showcase works by Tapio Wirkkala, Gunnel Nyman, Kirsti Ilvessalo, Rut Bryk, Kaj Franck, and many others. Alvar Aalto’s terrace lamp from the early 1960s is something truly special, as is Birger Kaipiainen’s unique ceramic art. One of the auction’s highlights is a cabinet designed by Margaret Nordman in the 1930s, featuring a relief artwork by Hannes Autere. Among the top highlights is a particularly striking armchair by Alvar Aalto, crafted as a prototype for O.Y. Huonekalu- ja Rakennustyötehdas A.B. Also featured are prototypes and competition pieces by Ilmari Tapiovaara, Paavo Tynell’s rare table lamp, and a selection of fine works by Björn Weckström. The art section includes an early still life by Elga Sesemann, a collection of innovative oil works on acrylic plates by Elina Ruohonen, and a wide range of Finnish contemporary art.
