Chairs from the Radio House | |
|
For more than 70 years, the Radio House (Radiohuset) on Rosenørns Allé in Copenhagen served as the broadcasting centre from which the Danish State Radio (Statsradiofonien) transmitted news of both major and minor events to the Danish people. The architect behind both the building and the interior design was Vilhelm Lauritzen. At the Live Auction on 5 December, we’ll be presenting Lauritzen’s exceptionally rare and sculptural chairs that were part of the Radio House’s original modernist furnishings. They represent a crucial chapter in Danish history from around the time of World War II.

Work by the people’s artist Qi Baishi | |

“Chrysanthemums”, a work by the Chinese artist Qi Baishi, is now set to go under the hammer at our Live Auction. In 1953, he gifted the work to the Danish artists’ association Corner, of which he became a member at the age of 89 and where he was celebrated as “the People’s Artist”. According to Corner’s co-founder Karl Bovin, the old master Qi Baishi was world famous for depicting “life on paper”.
