Among the successful bidders were several Danish and international museums, and 12 of the works are now destined for museum collections. We’ve been granted permission to publish the names of some of them. The Skovgaard Museum acquired a motif of Møns Klint by P.C. Skovgaard from 1850, and Ribe Kunstmuseum emerged victorious in securing I.L. Jensen’s still life with fruit and walnuts.
Museum Vestsjælland had set its sights on three paintings by the Golden Age painter J.Th. Lundbye – two from the local area around Kalundborg. The Museum of Copenhagen’s interest was directed towards Heinrich Hansen’s historically significant cityscape documenting the demolition of Vesterport and its ramparts. We would like to congratulate all the museums on their purchases and look forward to seeing them exhibited in their collections.
