Introducing Blomqvist

Blomqvist auction house was established in 1870, making them one of the first art dealers in Scandinavia. The house is famed for their exquisite selection of art and antiquities, as well as their fabled exhibition halls where Edvard Munch himself used to show his works during his lifetime. Now, 140 years later, Blomqvist still holds its position as one of the top auction houses in the region.

Pictured is Spanish artist Joan Miró’s exquisite 1973 work, Oda a Joan Miró, which is currently online for bidding at Blomqvist. A profound balance of sophistication and innocence and a deeply rooted conviction about the relationship between art and nature lie behind Miró’s work and account for the wide appeal that his art continues to have across generations. 

This is less about Miró and more about Blomqvist.
