Insider’s Auction Picks
MJÖLBY INTARSIA Estimate: 3 000 SEK
OSKAR LUKS LUNDEFJORD Estimate: 3 000 SEK
IVAR NYBERG Estimate: 2 500 SEK
Self-portraiture is an artistic genre that grew in popularity during the 15th century as mirrors became more common. There are also plenty of portraits depicting artists but painted by someone else. Here, we see the relatively well-known painter Carl Johansson, wearing his characteristic round glasses, portrayed by the perhaps somewhat lesser-known Ivar Nyberg. Carl Johansson seems to have been a popular subject for portraiture—Auctionet has previously sold portraits of him by Robert Lundberg and Albert Engström.

MARTIN WICKSTRÖM Estimate: 60 000 - 80 000 SEK
Spanning centuries, the collection features Tudor chairs, Elizabethan beds, and early Medieval figures, offering an opportunity to acquire pieces that haven’t been seen on the market for many years. Sourced from the private collection of the Beedham family, second-generation antique dealers, this collection is as rare as it is remarkable. There are few eras that captivate the imagination of people quite like the Tudor period, with Henry VIII still looming large even 500 years on! So, if you’re new to collecting medieval and early modern antiques, what should you know as a collector?

4113798. RAGNHIILD NORDENSTEN (Nora 1888-1951 Stocholm): “Pine trees on the mountain”, signed and dated Ragnhild Nordensten 1914, etching.
If a novel had begun with the sentence, "She worked particularly with motifs from mines and heavy industry, such as ironworks, gasworks, construction sites, and machine halls," I would have devoured it in one sitting. But instead, I find it on Ragnhild Nordensten’s Wikipedia page. She is yet another in a long line of female artists whom history has forgotten. Educated at the Technical School, Althin’s Painting School, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, and Axel Tallberg’s Etching School, Nordensten created some remarkable depictions of Bergslagen’s mining industry. However, the etching now presented by Crafoord Auktioner Stockholm offers something different. Here, instead, we get more of those windblown Jugend pines I have previously praised. The work, titled Pines on the Mountain, is a line and aquatint etching from the time when Nordensten’s mind was filled with fresh knowledge of etching techniques from her studies with Axel Tallberg. My absolute favourite motif by Ragnhild Nordensten, however, is created in the early 1930s. By then, she had left behind both her nature lyricism and her subsequent interest in mythology.
As a viewer, you are reduced to almost nothing in a vast machine hall that both intimidates and mesmerizes. A double-edged image, both evocative and documentary—yet likely quite affordable. Pines on the Mountain has a plate size of 26 x 36 cm. With an estimate of 1,200 SEK, the price per square centimeter is certainly reasonable. That’s worth considering when, according to the headlines, inflation is once again soaring. It has been said before, but I’ll say it again—high-quality Swedish black-and-white prints are a bargain.
