About the Item

Margit Brundin, Swedish, (b. 1981, Ängelholm, Sweden) A collection of works by Swedish ceramic artist Margit Brundin, of human-scale hares created for this exhibition, "A Place Behind the Oak Tree", transforms our gallery. Installed amongst the gallery’s renowned collection and antiques spanning from the Baroque to the mid-20th Century, these works create a world of Alice in Wonderland meets our company. In the quality and sophistication of her masterly execution of her craft, Brundin creates works that are at once playful and quite emotional. During the three-month long process, she slowly hand-builds each work in red stoneware clay using coil construction. While applying the fine details of fur in slip, and final details with glaze, Brundin turns carvings in the surface into hairs. The painting– of liquid clay, colored with oxides such as copper, iron, manganese and cobalt, makes the surface come to life. The works are carefully treated – the ears indicate feelings, the eyes sometimes have a tear, the postures and expressions gain human traits. We are pleased to present Margit Brundin’s work in her first exhibition outside of Scandinavia. Prices for Margit Brundin's works in "A Place Behind the Oak Tree" range from $13,000 to $28,000. This unique sculpture is comprised of two parts: the Hare, and Base / Table in stained wood. The sculpture can be removed from the base, as it is not attached, and can be installed separately. The base can also be used as a low table. Measurements: Hare: 24 x 81 x 67 cm Base: 45 x 102 cm

  • Balloon Dog (Blue)
    By Jeff Koons
    Located in Malmo, SE
    Balloon Dog (Blue) 2021. Porcelain with metallic chromatic coating Limited edition of 69/799 ex. Certificate of authenticity and the original box. Incised signature, edition number, titled and dated on the underside. Produced by Bernardaud, Limoges, France. Jeff Koons is an American pop artist, born in York, Pennsylvania in 1955 to a mother who was a seamstress and a father who worked as an interior decorator. He is known for working with popular culture subjects and for his reproductions of banal objects. His works have sold for important amounts, including one world record auction price for a work by a living artist. Jeff Koons had an early interest in art and as a teenager he admired Salvador Dalí. He studied painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. As a student he met the artist Ed Paschke who became a major influence and for whom he worked as a studio assistant in the late 1970’s. In 1977 Jeff Koons moved to New York City where he worked at the Museum of Modern Art whilst establishing himself as an artist. In the 1980’s he began working as a Wall Street commodities broker in order to finance his art projects. He wanted to be independent from the art market and has expressed that: ”I could make exactly what art I wanted to make. And I would always know that I didn’t need the art market.” In the mid-1980’s Jeff Koons gained prominence and recognition as part of a generation of artists who explored the meaning af art in a media-saturated era. He set up a factory-like studio in a SoHo loft with over 30 assistants. Since his first solo exhibition in 1980 Jeff Koon’s work has been shown in major galleries and institutions throughout the world. His work was the subject of a major exhibition organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, Jeff Koons: A Retrospective in 2014, which traveled to the Centre Pompidou Paris and then further to Guggenheim Bilbao in 2015. His most recent series, Gazing Ball Paintings, was exhibited for the first time at Gagosian Gallery, New York in 2015. The artist has earned renown for his public sculptures, such as the monumental...
