Introduction – Highlights of the auction This catalogue presents important books and manuscripts from a variety of private properties in a wide range of fields: incunabula, natural science, architecture, travel, topography, art, fiction and philosophy. The auction opens with a selection of fine books originating from the library of the Scandinavian Society in Rome which includes rare topographic works of Italy, Egypt and Scandinavia, and some highly attractive presentation copies by the Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen. Another famous Norwegian author, Knut Hamsun is represented with a large collection of letters and a central archive of material concerning the trial against the author caused by his pro-German conviction. The archive is of great importance and includes the hitherto secret diary which Hamsun wrote during his stay at the Retspsykiatrisk Klinik in Oslo. There is no doubt that this material will influence the rather sensitive discussion about Hamsun’s political position during World War II and perhaps change the public opinion of the celebrated author. Among the many letters and manuscripts we feature a historical letter, dated June 1719, written in the hand of the Norwegian naval hero Peder Wessel Tordenskjold on board the ship “Laaland” fighting against the Swedish army. Also to be highlighted are two autograph quotations signed by Leonora Christina and Corfitz Ulfeldt. The quotations forecast the destiny of the powerful couple and are of historical interest. Special attention should be brought to a fine collection of personal letters by famous artists living in Paris during the first decades of the 20th century including Monet, Stravinsky, Proust, Cocteau and Diaghilev (see article on pages 138-139). Furthermore, we present a large collection of more than 400 volumes published by ”The Olympia Press” during the 1950’s and 1960’s in Paris (see arcticle on pages 148-149). The rare first edition of Saxo Grammaticus’ chronicle of the Danish kings printed in Paris 1514 is presented in a fine copy from the library of the Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi. In addition, we present several Bibles from the Ragnar Fjalar Larusson Collection including the King Gustav Vasa’s Bible printed in Uppsala 1540-41, the first Bible to be printed in Scandinavia.

To be mentioned in connection with the Bibles is the well preserved copy of an early 16th century Koran in a rare and unusual octagonal format measuring only 6 x 6 cm. The illuminated Koran is dated 1513 and it consists of 362 leaves. The auction features several fine Russian works: An illuminated liturgical manuscript written in Church Slavonic (254 leaves) in a fine Russian binding, a complete set of N. Kutepov’s “The Imperial Hunt in Russia” (1896-1911), and a rare set of V. Timm’s famous “Russian Leaves of Art” (1859-1862). Several of the books here presented are included in the presti gious publication ”Printing and the Mind of Man”, including ”Das Kapital” by Marx, ”Disquisitiones arithmeticae” by Gauss, ”On Liberty” by Mill, ”Laokoon” by Lessing, ”Geschichte der Kunst des Alterthums” by Winckelmann, and ”Histoire Naturelle” by Buffon. No book auction in Copenhagen without Hans Christian Andersen. This time we highlight the rare German edition of Andersen’s tales illustrated by Petit (1845) and Andersen’s own dramati zation of “The Sandman” (1850). Both copies are inscribed to his friend, the dancer and choreographer, August Bournonville . The auction closes with the sale of the enigmatic artwork “Still Life with stuffed Owl” by Karen Blixen. She painted the poetic canvas in Kenya in 1923 for her companion, Denys Finch Hatton and since then the famous painting has been in the possession of the Blixen family. The painting complements her literary achievement “Out of Africa”, the much admired memoir of her years in Kenya. On the last pages of the catalogue we present the collection of the Danish author and multi-artist, Rune T. Kidde, which is to be sold at our online auction 7 December 2008 along with books from other properties. Considering this collection to be of specific interest to a Danish audience, all descriptions are here in Danish including the article on page 161 (translations available on request). We hope you will take an interest in the catalogue and visit us at the auction either in Bredgade or online.

The trial against Knut Hamsun - Important archive Comprehensive archive with material concerning the trial for treason against the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun. The archive consists of a secret dairy written by Hamsun when he was confined for several months in a psychiatric hospital in Oslo after World War II. The diary is written with small letters on three pages in his Danish son-in-law Hans Andreasen’s novel “Manana” (1945). The achive also contains 7 autograph letters and two post cards signed by Knut Hamsun written in the period 1944-1947 together with 6 autograph letters signed by Marie Hamsun written in the period 1950-1953. All the letters are written to Hamsun’s daughter Cecilia and her husband Hans Andreasen. In all more than 20 pages.

26

Moreover, the archive contains various typewritten transcripts, including Hamsun’s speech in court, dated 16 December 1947, a letter from Hamsun to the Public Prosecutor [no date] and a report by the police concerning the confiscation of Hamsun’s private correspondence, dated 11 December 1945. The archive also contains several original photographs of Hamsun, family members and his farm “Nørholm”, various private papers and letters concerning the prolonged trial, together with other collectable items of documentary interest.



4018

4018

This hitherto inaccessible,archive documents several central aspects of the last years of Knut Hamsun’s life and the rough years after World War II when the 90 years old Nobel Prize winner was arrested, stood trial for treason and convicted.

Not only the diary, which was secretly written from 15 October 1945 to 11 February 1946, but also the letters written to Hamsun’s daughter Cecilia, constitute a strong documentation for the trial against the disgraced author. The letters show how Hamsun is not allowed to decide anything for himself. He awaits his trial, and he makes no secret of the fact that it gives him pain.

This important archive - not least the diary - was used as source material for the Danish author Thorkild Hansen’s work “Processen mod Hamsun” (“The Process against Hamsun”, 1978) and has hitherto been kept away from the public by the family of Hamsun’s son-in-law, the Danish author Hans Andreasen.

Knut Hamsun – Important autograph letters Collection of 5 autograph letters signed by Knut Hamsun to the famous Norwegian vicar Jonas Dahl. Dated Aas, Nordstrand and Drøbak [No year, c. 1904-07]. Enclosed autograph letter from the Norwegian Church department, dated 19 January 1907. The letters deal with Hamsun’s strong wish for a renewal of the Norwegian psalm book. Jonas Dahl (1849-1919) was a vicar in Ullern in Oslo and he contributed with several psalms for the Norwegian psalm book. Hamsun was strongly concerned with a renewal of the Norwegian psalm book and was convinced that Dahl was the only one capable of lifting this task. In the letters Hamsun mentions the psalm book as being the only poetry and book of sermons for the common people. Provenance: Private Norwegian collection. Please note that this item is imposed with export prohibition from Norway by the National Library in Oslo. The National Library has rejected our application to have these items exhibited in Copenhagen. Consequently, the items are exhibited in Oslo. Please arrange with the book department for special viewing.

Brevene er uhyre væsentlige, idet de omhandler Hamsuns stærke ønske om en revision af den norske salmebog og ønske om, at digterpræsten Jonas Dahl (1849-1919) påtager sig denne revision: “Det er især Kingo og Brorson, men ogsaa nogle af Udgiverens Bearbejdelser, som efter mit Skøn ikke gaar an. Man reviderer Bibelens Sprog, Kirkebønnernes Sprog osv. men lader Salmerne staa. De er vistnok den eneste nu hos os som kunde omskrive Salmerne og jeg vilde høre om De kunde begynde med dette, hvis der kom en Bevægelse op om det.” Den norske salmebog var en meget væsentligt sag for Hamsun, da den i hans øjne var en central del af den norske kulturhistorie, som han udtrykker det i et af brevene: “Salmebogen er Menigmands ofte eneste Poesi, Postil og Bibel.” Disse breve er registreret i supplementsbindet til Harald Næss’ brevudgave og er belagt med eksportforbud fra Norge af Nasjonalbiblioteket i Oslo under henvis ning til, at brevene udgør “et viktigt kildemateriale til Knut Hamsuns verk”. Eftersyn efter aftale. € 6.700

Hammershøi - Important autograph letter Autograph letter signed by V. Hammershøi to Alexander Wilde. Dated Paris 29 January [18]92. 4 pages. Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864-1916) writes to his friend and colleague Alexander Wilde (1855-1929) about his art and his difficulties of getting his paintings finished. He comments on Paris, on J.F. Willumsen and “Den frie Udstilling” in Copenhagen.

“Det er ligesom de Malerier jeg laver, de vil heller ikke blive til noget, det Skidt. Jeg begynder paa et nyt hver Dag næsten, i Morgen begynder jeg f.Ex. paa et igjen. Det er efter min Kone, det lille Skind, jeg laver alle Begyndelserne, men hvad skal jeg gjøre. Jeg kan ikke engang male et Interiør her, det er saa parisisk altsammen, lige til det aller intimeste af Møblementet. Det er jo ikke alle der er saa lykkelige at kunne aklimatisere sig saadan som Willumsen, og male Bretagnekoner og Parisercocotter.

“The edition of Saxo’s History of Denmark by Christian Pedersen is extremely important, because no complete manuscript of Saxo’s work is preserved; only a few odd leaves have by chance come down to us: Pedersen’s edition is indeed our only source to Saxo’s history” (“Thesaurus” # 190).

Both Karl Madsen and Vilhelm Hammershøi were much interested in books. Hammershøi’s gift might have had to do with Karl Madsen’s and the museum’s major purchase of paintings by Hammershøi. € 6.700

“A landmark in the history of natural science” Buffon: Histoire Naturelle [...]. 32 volumes. Paris: Imprimerie Royale 1749-89. 4to. 1st edition. With 1045 full page engravings mainly depicting animals, 2 maps and 2 charts. The set comprises the following sections: 15 volumes “Histoire Naturelle Générelle”, 9 volumes “Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux”, 2 volumes of “Histoire Naturelle des Quadrupèdes Ovipares et des Serpens” and 6 supplementary volumes. Minor foxing. Bound in contemporary, uniform full calf. Bindings with minor signs of wear. (32) First edition of one of the landmarks of popular natural science. Georges Louis Leclerc Buffon (17071788) had an enormous impact on the study and education of natural history. His “Historie Naturelle” describes everything known about the natural world and was published in several editions. This set is the first edition and contains all volumes published during Buffon’s lifetime. After his death several other volumes were published making the total number of volumes 44. “Buffon’s “Natural History, General and Particular” presented for the first time a complete survey of natural history in a popular form [...] he was the first

to present the universe as one complete whole and to find no phenomenon calling for any but a purely scientific explanation” (“Printing and the Mind of Man” # 198). Together with Diderot’s Encyclopedia, this work is the peak of book printing of the French enlightenment. Buffon was the first to sum up an entire natural history, based on science instead of theology. In a part of the work, named “Des Époqeus de la Nature” (Supplement vol. V, 1778, present here), Buffon attacked several Christian doctrines on natural science: He saw man as a part of the animal world, he objected to earth being only 6000 years old, and he dismissed a rigid classification system (thus preparing for Darwin’s thoughts). Reference: “Printing and the Mind of Man” # 198. Nissen # 672. Provenance: Most volumes bear the autograph name of the Danish zoologist Jonas Collin (1840-1905), who issued a new edition of Kjærbølling’s “The Birds of Scandinavia” in 1875-1877 (Anker # 251) - a work most likely inspired by his knowledge from his copy of Buffon’s “Histoire Naturelle”. € 4.000–5.350

First edition of this rare and important source in the history of travel.

The author relates (and illustrates himself) of strange sights and sounds and the wind magic of the northern people. His narration is one of the most fantastic and imaginative of the time, so imaginative that Knud Leem (1696-1775) specifically aimed at correcting Martinière in his monumental work “Beskrivelse over Finmarkens lapper” (1767), see lot # 4000.

Russian illuminated manuscript Liturgical illuminated manuscript written in Church Slavonic. Russia. Late 18th or early 19th century. 254 leaves. 35 x 21,5 cm.

Bound in contemporary full calf with two clasps. Church Slavonic has been the Russian liturgical language since the Middle Ages.The orthodox liturgy changed only little during the centuries, which is why several of the early 15th and 16th century liturgical manuscripts were copied during the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, these copies are highly important due to the loss of many of the original manuscripts. € 8.050–10.500

Tordenskjold - Highly important letter Autograph letter signed by Tordenskjold. Dated [June] 1719. 4 pages. Framed. Full transcription in Danish available on request. This highly important letter is written in full by the Norwegian naval hero Peder Wessel Tordenskjold (1691-1720) on board the ship “Laaland” fighting against the Swedish army. The letter is written to “Høyedle og welborne Herr Admiral” [Admiral Ole Judichær] and contains important information about the conquering of Göteborg: “Jeg kand slutte af eders brev det vild først gielde Marstrand, vilket jeg ej kand finde nøttig langt mindre nødig, thi Gottenborg er langt merre pragticabel att erobre; thi naar Hising landet først i Poseseion bliver taget, er Resten en meget pragticabel sag.” Of great interest is also that Tordenskjold mentions a map of his own invention on which he has marked his personal suggestions for an attack.

It is extremely rare to see autograph letters by Tordenskjold on the market. Most letters are in public collections. This letter is of particular rareness since it - probably due to its important content - was written in full by Tordenskjold and not just signed by him as it was custom. Provenance: The letter was registered by the Norwegian marine historian O. Bergesen in 1963 (Bergesen: “Tordenskiolds Brev”, Oslo 1963). Bergesen had never seen the letter, but he knew of its existence from an account by the Danish historian C.F. Allen who stated that the letter was owned by J.H. Petersen, the private teacher of King Fr. VII’s children. Petersen had a fine collection of historical items which included Tordenskjold’s letter. Until now the letter has been in the ownership of the Petersen family. Reference: Frank Allan Rasmussen: “Tordenskiold som kartograf?”, in: Marinehistorisk Tidsskrift, nr. 1., 1991. € 13.500–20.000

Laurits Tuxen - Autograph letters Collection of 18 autograph letters (15 with the orig. envelopes) signed by Lauritz Tuxen to Frederikke Tuxen. The letters are sent from Paris, London, Edingburgh and Copenhagen between 1912-1921. The letters comprise more than 40 pages. These very personal letters from the Danish painter Laurits Tuxen (1853-1927) are written to his Norwegian second wife Frederikke. The letters relate of his art, his teaching and of his colleagues, friends and family. Extrait of one of the letters to Frederikke:

“Min elskede Fredemor! Nu har jeg været til et Løb på Dæmningen i Maaneskin, men det er for tidligt at gå i Seng, og jeg har jo slet ikke faaet nogen Passiar med Dig endnu i Dag. Jeg var paa Skolen imorges, disputerede som sædvanligt med Rostrup Bojesen, der finder Akademiet den elendigste Anstalt som tænkes kan, og gik saa hen pa mit Atelier, hvor jeg gav mig til at male paa min gamle Venus’ Omgivelser; hun kan snart holde Jubilæum. Jeg maa nemlig sige Dig at Rejse fra Skagen forleden var vidunderligt med Regnbue, Sky og blaa Himmel - alt hvad et Malerhjerte kan ønske sig, og det maatte nødvendigt sætte Spor et eller andet Sted, nu blev det Venus jeg faldt over.” € 535–805

J.F. Willumsen – J. Wilhjelm - Autograph letters Collection of 30 autograph letters signed by the Danish artist J.F. Willumsen to the artist Johannes Wilhjelm, including two letters sent to Wilhjelm’s wife. Mostly dated from 1928-1938. The letters comprise more than 50 pages. Enclosed collection of 40 autograph letters and lettercards signed by Wilhjelm to his son, including 3 letters written by his wife, 50 photographs, and two sketch books with drawings in pencil by Johs. Wilhjelm.

J.F. Willumsen (1863-1958) was one of the pioneers in the modern breakthrough in Danish art at the turn of the 19th century. Willumsen lived most of his life in France, but he closely followed the work of his colleague, the artist Johannes Wilhjelm (1868-1938) of whom he painted a portrait. Wilhjelm, in return, painted a portrait of Willumsen (1930, in the collection of ARoS). In his letters to Wilhjelm, Willumsen is very informative of his own art and life, relating of his personal art collection (Giotto, Donatello, Watteau), his travels and difficulties finding stable male models, his efforts to establish a museum of his own art in Denmark and his love story with Michelle Bourret. He also comments on his own letters and demands one of them destroyed. € 1.350–2.000

Christen Dalsgaard - Christian Winther Collection of 8 original drawings in ink and pencil by Christen Dalsgaard. All signed and dated 1845. Each measuring 15 x 20,5 cm. Framed. Enclosed Christian Winther: Træsnit. Copenhagen 1871. First illustrated edition. Bound in full paper. (9) The drawings were executed by the Danish artist Christen Dalsgaard (1824-1907) as illustrations for Christian Winther’s (1796-1876) poem “Christen og Lene” from his popular work “Træsnit” (first issued in 1828). The drawings were never used, but in 1871 an illustrated edition of “Træsnit” was published with two other illustrations by Dalsgaard.

96

Dalsgaard’s illustrations for Christian Winther’s poem are central for his artistic point of view. Like his contemporaries Julius Exner and Frederik Vermehren, Dalsgaard painted primarily national romantic folk scenes rooted in the grasslands of Denmark. He was a storyteller and paid great attention to folk costumes, manners and habits of the people. € 1.050–1.350

The Danish artist Svend Hammershøi (1873-1948), the brother of Vilhelm Hammershøi, is mainly known for his paintings and cheramic works.

Peters Jul - Important presentation copy and letter Johan Krohn: Peters Jul. [1866]. 1st edition. Illustrated and partly hand-coloured by Pietro Krohn and Otto Haslund. Inscribed by the author. Original wrappers, spine strengthened. Housed in box. Enclosed one autograph letter signed by the author, Johan Krohn, giving highly important bibliographic information about the book. (2) Presentation copy of the first edition of the most famous children’s book in Denmark with the celebrated first verse: “Jeg glæder mig i denne Tid!/ Nu falder Julesneen hvid”. The book was the work of three men, the brothers Johan (1841-1925) and Pietro Krohn (1840-1905) and their friend Otto Haslund (1842-1917), describing the Christmas traditions in the home of the Krohn family. Today, the book is only known in around 20 surviving copies, most of which are in public libraries. The book is inscribed by the author to his youngest brother, Mario (1846-72) who died at an early age. The inscription sounds: “Til Kemikeren, Fysikeren, Botanikeren, Zoologen mm. [...] med Ønsket om at han engang må kunne finde denne lille Bog som en usædvanlig lykkelig Familiefader! ærb. og vensk. Forf.”

98

After his brother’s death, Johan Krohn got his book back and preserved it carefully throughout the years. After nearly 50 years he decided to grant it to Paul Michélsen (1881-1957), a well-known Danish silversmith, together with the letter here enclosed. The letter is dated June 4, 1921, and relates of the history of the book: “Den udkom 1866; billederne er dels tegnede af min broder, dels af Otto Haslund; omslaget var en litograf mester for, tror jeg nok [...]. Eksemplaret var til min yngste bror, som stod mit hjerte inderligt nær - og gør det endnu i erindringen trods årene. Da jeg skrev det vrøvl [dedikationen], anede jeg lykkeligvis ikke at han 6 år efter skulle gå bort som ung, medicinsk kandidat.” (Transcription available on request). Both the letter and the inscription to his younger brother (given to him at the time of publication) document that Johan Krohn - contrary to previous assumptions - in fact was quite proud of his book. € 4.000–5.350

Leonora Christina and Corfitz Ulfeldt - Historical quotations Two autograph quotations from a poetry album dated and signed by Leonora Christina and Corfitz Ulfeldt: “Dieu console mon Âme et conforte mon Coeur”. Signed Leonora Christina and dated Royen, May 1645. + “Tout le monde est une farce”. Signed Corfitz Ulfeldt and dated København, May 1641. The leaves are octagonal and measure 13,5 + 11,5 cm. (2) Countess Leonora Christina (1621-1698), was the daughter of King Christian IV of Denmark and wife of Count Corfitz Ulfeldt (1606-1664). Both were important persons and had great power. After the death of King Christian IV in 1648, King Frederic III wanted to reduce the influence of the couple and he claimed Ulfeldt for treason. Ulfeldt fled the country together with Leonora to Sweden. Five years later, Leonora visited Denmark hoping that she and Ulfeldt could reconcile with King Frederic III but she was refused admission and expelled from the country. Hereafter, Leonora followed Corfitz Ulfeldt who fought with the Swedes and Karl X Gustav against Denmark.

In 1663 Ulfeldt was condemned to death in absentia by the Danish gouvernment because of treason, and Leonara Christine was accused of being a part of the crime. She denied all guilt but without trial she was imprisoned for the next 22 years in Copenhagen Castle’s infamous Blue Tower (“Blåtårn”). Here she wrote the posthumously published autobiography, “Jammersminde”, written secretly during two decades of solitary confinement. The quotation by Leonora Christine is of historical interest not least due to the fact that it is written before she knew of her sad fate. Also the quotation by Ulfelt is of particular interest seen in relation to his fate. From other historical sources we know that Ulfelt often used the quotation “Tout le monde est une farce” and that he often added “... et se gouverne par opinions”. Provenance: The quotations were originally part of a book of autographs collected by the Danish Bishop Erik Eriksøn Pontoppidan who wrote the first Danish grammar, “Grammatica Danica” (1668). Later, the quotations have been in the collection of H.I. Andersen and in the Troensegaard Collection. € 8.050–10.500

Part IV contains a discussion of the theory of qua dratic reciprocity, which Gauss had discovered at the early age of eighteen; yet Euler and Legendre before him had failed to prove it.

John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) defends the liberty of the individual against the democratic tyranny of the majority by declaring that “the sole end for which mankind is justified in interfering with liberty of action is self-protection”.

First edition of one of the greatest books in political philosophy. The second most famous book published in England that year, after “On the Origin of the Species”.

Many of Mill’s ideas are now the commonplaces of democracy. His arguments for freedom of every kind of thought or speech have never been improved on.

Andersen writes: “Die Vernunft in der Vernunft ist das Wahre, Die Vernunft in dem Wille ist das Gute, Die Vernunft in der Phantasie ist das Schöne!” The quotation is a translation of the very same words which his friend, the Danish physicist, Hans Christian Ørsted, wrote in Andersen’s personal album on 21 April 1833:


“Fornuften i Fornuften = det Sande Fornuften i Villien = det Gode, Fornuften i Phantasien = det Skjønne.” H.C. Andersen became very fond of these words and made them part of his own philosophy of life. € 1.050–1.350

Andersen’s own dramatization of his fairy tale of the same name “Ole Lukøie” (“The Sandman”) published in his first circle of “Eventyr, fortalte for Børn” (1842). Indeed, it was not least due to his own dramatization that the tale of “The Sandman” became famous. The fairy-tale play was performed 66 times at the “Casino” theatre in Copenhagen. “Ole Lukøje” is one of Hans Christian Andersen’s more obscure folk tales, telling of a mysterious mythic creature “Ole Lukøje”

Polignac

Princess de – Music’s Modern Muse

The following pages present a highly important collection of personal letters by famous artists living in Paris during the first decades of the 20th century including Claude Monet, Igor Stravinsky, Marcel Proust, Jean Cocteau, Serge Diaghilev and many others. Most of the letters here presented (lots # 41064110) are written to Winnaretta Singer, Princess Edmond de Polignac (1865-1943) who was the heir to the famous Singer sewing machine fortune and became an important patron of the arts in the colourful Paris at the beginning of the 20th century. The letters all derive from the Danish family of one of Winnaretta’s girlfriends, Sonia Galpérine (c. 1885-1983) who was born in Russia, but escaped to Paris during the 1917 revolution. Galpérine became close friends with Winnaretta Singer, who allowed Galpérine to live in her residence, 3 rue Cortambert in Paris (today, the residence of Fondation Singer-Polignac) until Galpérine’s death.

A heaven for avant-garde music – and for homosexuals After the death of her father, Winnaretta Singer inherited a substantial part of the Singer Sewing Machine fortune, making her a millionaire at the age of eighteen. Later, she generously dedicated a great part of her fortune supporting modernist music and musicians like Debussy, Satie, Vincent d’Indy, Stravinski, Gabriel Fauré, and Manuel de Falla.

138

In 1893 at the age of 28 Winnaretta Singer married the 59-year-old Prince Edmond de Polignac (1843-1901), a homosexual amateur composer who lived for the arts. Given that also Winnaretta was attracted to members of her own sex, but nonetheless desired to maintain the proper protocol, Edmond and Winnaretta agreed to a mariage blanc - a marriage of convenience. Behind the façade of her marriage, Winnaretta was involved in numerous affairs with other women, both married and unmarried. It is most likely that Winnaretta also had an affair with Sonia Galpérine. During the 1890’s and the early decades of the 20th century, the home of Polignac be came a celebrated salon in Paris frequented by several like-minded avant-garde artists including Marcel Proust, Jean Cocteau, Serge Diaghilev, Gabriel d’Annunzio, and Colette. Many of Proust’s memorable evocations of salon culture in his monumental work “À la recherche du temps perdu” were born during his attendance at concerts in the Polignac living room. First performances of Vincent d’Indy, Claude Debussy, Gabriel Fauré, and Maurice Ravel took place in the Polignac salon. The letters here presented document the artists’ close relationship to the Princess de Polignac, who continued to benefit the arts all through her life.

During the 1920’s and 1930’s Sonia Galpérine was included in Winnaretta Singer’s social circles, which counted Stravinsky, Proust, Monet, Debussy and many others. Galpérine and Winnaretta shared much personal – and intimate - life, which probably was the reason why Galpérine inherited several of the Princess’ personal letters.

Igor Stravinsky - Signed photographs Igor Stravinsky: Chroniques de ma vie. Paris 1935. Inscribed by Stravinsky to Mademoiselle Sonia Galpérine. + Two photographs both inscribed by Stravinsky to Sonia Galpérine. One with remnants of prior mounting on verso. Studio Lipnitzki (8,5 x 13 cm) and Aladár Szêkely (12 x 8 cm). Enclosed two amateur photographs, one depicting Stravinsky, the other Mlle Galpérine with a girlfriend.

Sonia Galpérine (c. 1885-1983) was born in Russia, but escaped to Paris during the 1917 revolution. Galpérine became close friends with Winnaretta Singer, Princess Edmond de Polignac who allowed Galpérine to live in Polignac’s residence, 3 rue Cortambert in Paris (today, the residence of Fondation Singer-Polignac) until Galpérine’s death. During the 1920’s and 1930’s Galpérine was included in Winnaretta’s social circles, which counted Stra vinsky, Proust, Monet, Debussy and many others. Galpérine and Winnaretta shared much personal life, which probably was the reason why Galpérine in herited several of the Princess’ personal letters.

Marcel Proust - Autograph letter Autograph letter signed by Marcel Proust. Dated 44 rue Hamelin [c. 1919/1920]. Sent to Princess de Polignac (name erased and replaced by “Ma dame”). 7 numbered pages on two large sheets, each measuring 18 x 27,5 cm. The letter is sent from 44 rue Hamelin, which was the last place Proust lived (from 1919). Marcel Proust (1871-1922) is best known for his monumental work, “À la Recherche du Temps Perdu” (“Remembrance of Things Past”) regarded by many as the greatest literary work of the 20th century. At the time of the letter Proust has just finished “À l’ombre des jeunes filles en fleur”, the second volume of “À la Recherche”, and he mentions his receipt of the Goncourt Price.

144

Many of Proust’s memorable evocations of salon culture in “À la Recherche” were born during his attendance at concerts in the living room of the Prince and Princess de Polignac. In this letter he recalls the time of Edmond de Polignac who died in 1901. Proust was close friends of Polignac and frequented the same circles. One of their shared friends was the Comte Robert de Montesquiou, who is remembered as a model for the Baron de Charlus in Proust’s “À la Recherche”.

Edouard Manet: “Olympia” (1863). The nation of France acquired the painting in 1890 with a public subscription organised by Claude Monet. The letters here presented document the role played by both Monet and the Princess de Polignac in the effort to have Manet’s work placed in a public collection.

Claude Monet - Letters dealing with Manet’s “Olympia” Collection of 4 small autograph letters signed by Claude Monet. The letters were all sent to “Madame” [Winnaretta Singer, Princess de Polignac] and dated Giverny par Vernon 16 February 1890, 20 February 1890, 15 September 1908, and 13 June 1909. With holes from archiving.

It took Claude Monet more than a year to collect enough money to pay Madame Manet for her husband’s painting. The scandal provoked by this painting in 1865 was still remembered and it was only reluctantly that the administration accepted the donation.

The letters dated 16 and 20 February 1890 are both dealing with Monet’s assistance buying the famous painting “Olympia” (1863) from Edouard Manet’s widow. The letters document the role played both by Monet and the Princess de Polignac in the efforts to have Manet’s epoch-making work of art represented in the national collections. The letters also reveal how much money the Princess Polignac contributed.

Provenance: The grand nephew of Sonia Galpérine, a close friend of Princess de Polignac.

lympia Press

In the 1950’s and 1960’s, Olympia Press published a flood of titles with a strongly erotic content. A number of them were banned and seized. Today, several of these books are considered major works of literature. In the first half of the 20th century, it was still against the law to publish erotic or pornographic literature. It was also difficult to have such works judged according to literary or artistic criteria. The authorities seized what could seem offensive, and the publishers were afraid to publish daring literature for fear of damaging their reputation.

An Enterprising Publisher One publisher, however, dared breaking down this wall: The Frenchman Maurice Girodias (1919-1990), son of the publisher Jack Kahane (1887-1939), who in the 1930’s was the first to publish writers such as Henry Miller, Anais Nin and James Joyce at his colourful Paris publishing house, Obelisk Press. In 1953 Girodias founded Olympia Press in Paris. The publishing house was named after the French artist Édouard Manet’s scandal-causing painting of the courtesan Olympia. Maurice Girodias was the ingenious type, and his business methods were quite enterprising. He would write blurbs for unwritten books. He would then print a list of catchy titles and fancy pen names and send it to all his cus tomers. If these ”preliminary novels” had what it took, his dealers would order and pre-pay for works that had not yet even been written.

148

This way, he could afford to give advances to the hard-pressed writers, who in turn would come up with novels that fulfilled the expectations created by Girodias’ popular blurbs.

Literary Masterworks Along with the easily read and soon forgotten erotic titles, Olympia Press published works that came to rank among the most important publications of the post-war era: Donleavy’s The Ginger Man (1955), Burroughs’

focus

Nabokov’s novel, later adapted for the screen by Stanley Kubrick, is about a middle-aged man’s erotic obsession with his flirtatious, twelve year old step-daughter. Subsequently, the word ”Lolita” became a widely used term throughout Western popular culture. Nabokov’s novel was Olympia Press’ greatest success ever.

“The Teasers” were small illustrated pamphlets, issued illegal in 195354. The extremely rare pamphlets contained teasing extraits from the novels in Olympia’s “Travellor’s Companion” series, including “The Bedroom Philosophers” and “Justine” by De Sade and “Plexus” by Miller.

The Naked Lunch (1959) and not least Nabo kov’s masterwork Lolita (1955). Many publishers had rejected Nabokov’s novel, before it was finally published by Girodias. Lolita was highly controversial, and many considered the book a questionable half-pornographic product without artistic merit. The book was soon banned in France, but when an American edition was published a few years later, it became a huge success. Lolita was the first title on the American market

since Gone with the Wind to sell more than 100,000 copies within the first three weeks. Today, the importance of Olympia Press is widely aknowledged, both in the history of literature, publishing and pornography. Last year Liverpool University Press issued the definitive bibliography of all the publications of Olympia Press. Much information in this bibliography was supplied from the Copenhagen Collection here presented, owned by Finn Edholm.

Donleavy’s “The Ginger Man” and novels by Beckett. Most of the major works, including the above mentioned titles, are represented in first editions in the present collection.

Bound with orig. wrappers in full yellow cloth [Ole Olsen]. (3) First edition of one of the most famous and controversial novels of the 20th century. Nabokov had tried in vain to have his novel published by several American publishers, but the novel was turned down in fear of the repercussions of publishing such a “pornographic” work.

152

The novel was finally published by Maurice Girodias at the Olympia Press in Paris. The novel became both a succes for Nabokov and Girodias, but caused a great debate: The British government pressured the French to ban the novel, and it was not published in America until 1958. Today, nobody argues its literary importance and its popularity increased through the cinematic versions: The 1962 Stanley Kubrick directed film starring James Mason, Peter Sellers and Sue Lyon. And the 1997 Adrian Lyne remake starring Jeremy Irons. Provenance: The Danish collector Finn Edholm. € 2.700–4.000

The work “Still Life with Stuffed Owl” (1923) is much admired and interpretated, not least because of the enigmatic symbols of an owl and a chessboard.

The enigmatic art of Karen Blixen Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen): “Opstilling med Udstoppet Ugle” (Still Life with Stuffed Owl). Oil on canvas, 41 x 61 cm. Executed in Ngong Hills 1923. The painting has been exhibited several times and is included in a number of books about Karen Blixen and has been pictured on museum merchandise, such as deck of cards, poster, and postcards. Karen Blixen (1885-1962), the supremely gifted Danish storyteller known under the pseudonyme Isak Dinesen led one of the most exotic, compelling and legendary lives in modern times. Her experiences range across continents and her finely crafted work spans the vast realms of the imagination. Blixen’s visually strong artwork complements her literary achievement. Educated privately at the Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen, she was a painter of considerable skill and note. The painting “Still Life with Stuffed Owl” is the only work in private ownership. The remaining works are all owned by the Rungstedlund Foundation and are on display at the Karen Blixen Museum outside Copenhagen. Painted at her estate at the foot of the Ngong Hills, Kenya in 1923, this work of radiant colour and harmonious line is a canvas of inspired beauty. Karen Blixen was a woman of the world par excellence.

Her book “Out of Africa”, a much-admired memoir of her years in Kenya, and one of the best prose pastoral of our times reveals a near mystical love of Africa and its people. Its poetic-like reminiscences of her triumphs and her sorrows, the death of her companion Denys Finch Hatton (1887-1931), the scholarly hunter and aviator, her love, mentor and muse and the disappearance of the simple African way of life she admired, spoke to readers, as well as to cinema viewers, the world over. Indeed, the painting, a visual rhapsody in blue, was drawn for Denys Finch Hatton. After his tragic death in a plane crash in Africa and upon Blixen’s return to Denmark, the work reverted back to her family. Blixen, Denmark’s most prominent writer of the 20th century, was one of the most distinctive voices in modern literature. She brought to the canvas the same rich detail, sensuous spirit, and soaring imagination that made her the mistress of the written and spoken word. Provenance: Painted at The Karen Estate, Ngong Hills, Kenya in 1923, this work was originally intended for Denys Finch Hatton. After Denys’ death and on her return to Denmark the painting was given to Ellen Dahl, Karen Blixen’s sister. Until now the painting has been in the ownership of the family. € 105.000

c o mm i ss i o n b i ds k o mm i ss i o n sb u d It is possible to leave commission bids if you can not be present at the auction yourself. This service is free of charge. When leaving a commission bid, you are instructing our customer service to bid up to a specified amount on your behalf. The situation can occur that another buyer has already bid the same as you were prepared to. Are you then willing to bid further? If not the lot will be sold to another buyer. If you do not wish to exceed your bid then write “Max”, for maximum, next to the amount. You can also allow us to raise your bid by approx. 15% or approx. 25%. The hammer price may be higher or lower than the estimated price, so it is possible to buy below the estimate. Bruun Rasmussen will always buy at the lowest price possible, as if you yourself had been present at the auction. All commission bids are strictly confidential. Commission bids must be submitted no later than 24 hours prior to the start of the auction.

Det er muligt at afgive kommissionsbud, hvis De ikke selv kan være til stede på auktionsdagen. Denne service er gratis. Når De afgiver en kommission, beder De vores kundeservice på Deres vegne byde op til et af Dem bestemt beløb i hammerslag. Der kan opstå den situation, at en anden køber allerede har budt det beløb, som De ønsker at afgive. Er De da villig til at gå et bud højere eller er De indforstået med at nummeret sælges til anden side? Ønsker De ikke at byde højere så skriv “Max” ud for beløbet. Er De i tvivl om hvor højt De vil byde, kan De hæve budet med op til ca. 15% eller ca. 25%. Salgsprisen kan blive højere eller lavere end vurderingen, så der er også mulighed for at købe til under den angivne vurdering. Vor kundeservice køber altid så billigt som muligt til Dem, som havde De selv været tilstede på auktionen. Alle kommissioner behandles strengt fortroligt. Kommisionsbud skal være Bruun Rasmussen i hænde senest 24 timer før auktionens start.

How to make a commission bid:

Sådan byder De:

Complete the commission form with all pertinent information. Indicate the lot number. Indicate the amount you are prepared to bid. Should this amount be the absolute maximum, please write “Max” in the appropriate column. You can also allow us to bid by up to approx. 15% or approx. 25% more by indicating so. Sign the commission form and make sure that Bruun Rasmussen receives it 24 hours prior to the start of the auction. If the information should be insufficient, Bruun Rasmussen can abstain from bidding. Bruun Rasmussen can not be held responsible for error in bidding or failure to execute bids. After the auction Bruun Rasmussen’s 24-hour “hammerprice-information” is available for sale results at +45 8818 1113.

Udfyld blanketten kommissionsbud med alle oplysninger. Angiv katalognummer. Angiv beløbet De ønsker at byde. Er dette Deres absolutte maximum bedes De anføre “Max” i kolonnen. De kan også forhøje Deres bud med henholdsvis ca. 15% eller ca. 25%, ved at indikere dette i kolonnen. De bedes underskrive kommissionsblanketten og sikre Dem, at Bruun Rasmussen modtager den senest 24 timer før auktionens start. Hvis Deres oplysninger ikke er tilstrækkelige, kan Bruun Rasmussen undlade at byde for Dem, ligesom Bruun Rasmussen ikke kan gøres ansvarlig for fejl ved budgivningen. Efter auktionen vil De kunne få oplysninger om priser på vor automatiske 24 timers “Hammerslagsoplysning” på telefon 8818 1113.

c o n d i t i o n s o f p u r c h a se – k ø bsk o n d i t i o n er § 1. Bidding The buyer shall be the highest bidder at the “hammer price”. Any person bidding on behalf of a third party shall be liable in surety for completion of the sale. At the request of Bruun Rasmussen Kunstauktioner (hereinafter called Bruun Rasmussen), all bidders, whether they wish to make bids in person at the place of auction or commission bids by letter or fax or direct telephone bids, should be able to document their ability to pay and be able to provide proof of identity at any time. Bruun Rasmussen is entitled to refuse to accept a bid if, when requested, adequate security or adequate payment on account has not been rendered. Bids should be made by the bidder in person at the place of auction or by written commission. Telephone bidding is possible within certain conditions made out by Bruun Rasmussen. Bruun Rasmussen is not to be held responsible for any errors that may occur using this service. The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion as to the increment of the bids. The auctioneer will also make decisions in all cases of doubt regarding the bidding Credit/debit card information must be registered with Bruun Rasmussen before bids can be submitted at our online auctions.

§ 2. Payment The purchase price is the hammer price plus 25% in buyer’s premium, including VAT, for lots sold subject to the special VAT scheme for sales of Works of Art, Collectors’ items and Antiques, and secondhand goods by Public Auction (hereinafter called Special VAT). Certain lots are sold in accordance with specific rules on normal VAT arrangement (hereinafter called normal VAT), so that the purchase price is the hammer price plus an additional 20% in buyer’s premium and VAT of 25% levied on both the hammer price and the buyer’s premium. The lots subject to Full VAT are indicated as such in the catalogue with an asterix (*). Danish VAT registered buyers shall provide Bruun Rasmussen with documentation of their SE-/CVR-number (VAT No.) as this has to be quoted on the invoice for goods bought at full VAT. For some foreign buyers, specific VAT-exemption rules apply (cf. Article 3). VAT-exemption does not apply to private buyers from the EU who are considered as Danish buyers (cf. current Danish legislation on Special VAT Scheme for Sales of Works of Art, Collectors’ items and Antiques by Public Auction). The purchase price falls due for payment when the goods have been knocked down. Payment may be made in cash up to DKK 100,000, by Dankort, banker’s cheque, traveller’s cheque, Visa-, Master-, Diners Club- or Eurocard. Personal foreign cheques may only be used for payment by prior arrangement. Payment may be made during or immediately after the auction. Under all circumstances payment must be made no later than eight days from the date of the invoice. With online auctions, payment takes place when the items are prepared for dispatch (circa 12 hours after the purchase has been made) using the banking details (credit/debit card and bank account) submitted by the purchaser. At the same time an invoice and dispatch information will be sent to the purchaser. Should the purchase price not be paid by the due date, interest at 1.5 % per new month will be charged. If the purchase price and interest are not paid within eight days after Bruun Rasmussen has sent its demand to the buyer, Bruun Rasmussen shall be entitled to rescind the sale and resell the goods at a Bruun Rasmussen auction or privately, and to demand reimbursement of any related losses from the defaulting buyer. Any further profit on the sale shall be payable to the person who had deposited the goods for sale by auction. If the defaulting buyer is entitled to proceeds from a sale of goods by Bruun Rasmussen, Bruun Rasmussen shall be entitled to set off its receivables against its payables to the defaulting buyer. If the defaulting buyer has deposited other goods for sale, Bruun Rasmussen shall be entitled to sell such goods at a Bruun Rasmussen auction without being bound by the reserve stipulated by the defaulting buyer. The defautling buyer shall not be entitled to demand the surrender of goods deposited for sale as long as the debt payable to Bruun Rasmussen has not been dis-

178

*

charged, regardless of whether the value of such goods may be deemed to exceed the debt payable. Bruun Rasmussen shall be entitled to refuse a bid made by a buyer who is in default in respect to his payment obligations to Bruun Rasmussen, as well as a bid made by a third party on behalf of such a defaulting buyer. Bruun Rasmussen shall further be entitled to demand a deposit as a condition of accepting any future bids from such a purchaser.

§ 3. Money-back guarantee Online purchase of items by private individuals is subject to Danish consumer law, which extends 14 days of money-back guarantee. The purchaser is liable for any costs related to the transport of returned items. Should a purchaser seek to avail himself or herself of the moneyback guarantee, Bruun Rasmussen will refund the payment on receiving the returned items. Please note that the date on which accounts are debited is subject to the policy of the purchaser’s bank/credit card company.

§ 4. Exemption from VAT Foreign buyers who fulfil the conditions stated below shall pay 20% of the hammer price in buyer’s premium and shall not be subject to Danish taxes and duties: A. Buyers residing in another EU Member State: Buyers are exempt from paying Danish VAT as long as they have provided Bruun Rasmussen with documentation of their VAT registration. The VAT number will then be quoted on Bruun Rasmussen’s invoice. B. Buyers residing outside the EU: 1 Dispatch through forwarding agent: Lots exported through a forwarding agent approved by Bruun Rasmussen are exempt from VAT. 2 Export as personal luggage: Goods may be exempt from Danish VAT when the buyer personally takes the goods out of the country as luggage, provided the following conditions have been met: The invoice must have been paid and the Danish duty of 25% of the invoice amount must have been deposited with Bruun Rasmussen. a Buyers residing in Norway will be refunded the Danish VAT as soon as the invoice of sale has been returned to Bruun Rasmussen endorsed by the customs authorities of the country in question or by any other authority with jurisdiction over matters of purchase tax with respect to official imports of goods into the country in question if the purchase price exceeds DKK 1,200. b Buyers residing in other countries outside the EU will be refunded the Danish VAT after the goods have been presented for customs clearance in connection with the departure of the buyer from the EU. The exporter’s form should be returned to Bruun Rasmussen after being endorsed with the customs authorities’ export certificate if the purchase price exceeds DKK 300 This also applies to the Faroe Islands and Greenland.

§ 5. Payment of taxes and duties A. Buyers with VAT-registration in other EU member states who do not wish to make use of Article 3 may instead choose to purchase items subject to Special VAT/Normal VAT in the same manner as private buyers. Bruun Rasmussen must be notified of this before 10 a.m. on the following auction day. B. Buyers with VAT-registration in Denmark may choose to purchase subject to Normal VAT at 25% of the hammer price plus premium. Bruun Rasmussen must be notified of this before 10 a.m. on the following auction day.

§ 6. Collection of purchases The purchase price must be paid in full before the purchased lot can be passed over to the buyer. From the time of the lot being knocked down to the buyer, until its collection, the purchased lot


will be held at the buyer’s own expense and risk. A storage fee will be charged for lots which have not been collected within 14 days after the time of the lot being knocked down. Goods which have been paid for but not collected within 1 year will be resold at auction or privately at the buyer's expense.

§ 7. Dispatch Should Bruun Rasmussen undertake the packaging and for warding of purchased goods, this shall be done at the buyer’s own expense and risk. Bruun Rasmussen shall thus not be held liable neither for any damage caused to purchased goods during dispatch nor for any missing consignments.

§ 8. Droit de Suite Pursuant to current Danish legislation on Copyright, an artistic royalty shall be collected on works of modern art by all Danish and some foreign artists. Bruun Rasmussen will from the buyer collect the royalties required on behalf of the artists’ organisation Copy-Dan for any work of art subject to this law. These works are identified in the catalogue by CD for Copy-Dan, marked beside each relevant lot number. The artistic royalty will be calculated as follows for each work of art, when the hammerprice exceeds DKK 1,864: • 5% of the part of the hammerprice ranging from DKK 0 to DKK 310,729 plus the buyer’s premium (20% excl. VAT) • 3% of the part of the hammerprice ranging from DKK 310,729 to DKK 1,242,917 plus the buyer’s premium (20% excl. VAT) • 1% of the part of the hammerprice ranging from DKK 1,242,917 to DKK 2,175,104 plus the buyer’s premium (20% excl. VAT) • 0.5% of the part of the hammerprice ranging from DKK 2,175,104 to DKK 3,107,292 plus the buyer’s premium (20% excl. VAT) • 0.25% of the part of the hammerprice lying above DKK 3,107,292 plus the buyer’s premium (20% excl. VAT) The artistic royalty cannot exceed DKK 93,219 for each work of art.

§ 9. Export licence Applications for an export licence must be made to the Danish Cultural Assets Committee when required in accordance with current Danish legislation on the protection and preservation of cultural assets in Denmark. Where such a licence has not been obtained, the foreign buyer will be informed thereof immediately after the lot has been knocked down to the buyer. Anot her application will subsequently be sent to the Danish Cultural Assets Committee by Bruun Rasmussen on behalf of the buyer, now that the price is known. Should an export licence not be granted, the Danish Cultural Assets Committee would be obliged to acquire the purchased lot at the purchase price, and the buyer would thus not be bound to the purchase.

§ 10. Cataloguing All lots are sold in the condition in which they are found when knocked down and as described in the catalogue with subse quently published changes and modifications. Cataloguing is done according to the best of Bruun Rasmussen’s knowledge and on the cataloguing principles stated. The lots auctioned are often of some age or of a kind which makes it possible that they may contain defects, deficiencies, or may have been subject to restoration or damage not necessarily stated in the catalogue. Catalogue pictures are for identification only and cannot be used for an evaluation of the condition of the goods. Any person who wishes to bid at an auction should therefore satisfy himself of the condition of the lots for which he intends to bid by personal inspection at the preview held prior to the auction. The catalogue description is an indication of the prevailing oppinion of scholars and expert at the time of the printing of the catalogue. If any doubts should arise after the purchase regarding the genuineness of the purchased lot or its conformance with

the catalogue description, Bruun Rasmussen should immediately be informed thereof. Should the purchased lot be proved to be a forgery, or if the catalogue description contains material errors which lead to a consi derably higher hammer price than that which a correct catalogue description would presumably result in, the buyer shall be entitled to cancel the purchase, after which the buyer shall be reimbursed for the total purchase price paid plus buyer's premium and VAT, when applicable. For material errors in the catalogue description in respect to measurements or weight, compensation shall only be paid on a percentage basis in proportion to the difference. The right of cancellation of a purchase in pursuance of the present conditions can only be exercised by the party who has bought the lot in question at Bruun Rasmussen and shall be subject to the presentation of a claim for cancellation in writing to Bruun Rasmussen within 2 years of the purchase date and to the purchased lot being returned to Bruun Rasmussen in the same condition in any and all respects which the purchased lot was in at the time of the lot being knocked down to the buyer. In the event of cancellation the buyer shall not be entitled to claim payment of interest on the purchase price nor shall the buyer be entitled to claim compensation for any other expenses or loss incurred, including any possible loss of profit in connection with reselling. It shall not be possible to state cancellation of a purchase in pursuance of the above provisions if: a the catalogue description on the day the lot was knocked down to the buyer was in accordance with the then generally accepted opinion of scholars and experts; b the only way of establishing whether the lot was a forgery at the time of the publication of the catalogue was the implementation of scientific processes, the validity of which was only acknowledged after the time of publication of the catalogue, or which would have required a disproportionate amount of cost, or which would have been impossible to carry out without damaging the lot in question. In addition to the time-limits stated above, all purchases are subject to the Statute of Limitations stipulated by Danish law by which Bruun Rasmussen is under no circumstance liable for purchases after 5 years from the date of purchase. Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers Jesper Bruun Rasmussen, auctioneer Jørgen Byriel, officially appointed external supervisor

COMMISSION Bruun Rasmussen undertakes to execute commission bids for bidders who are unable to be present at the auction. It is a prerequisite that Bruun Rasmussen receives the commission 24 hours before the start of the auction for the bidders’ credit to be checked, if necessary. Bruun Rasmussen is not to be held responsible for any errors that may occur using this service.

CONDITION REPORTS Bruun Rasmussen undertakes to provide further information about the state and condition of the lots if possible. This is regarded as a service for customers who are unable to make a personal inspection of the lots at the preview. Bruun Rasmussen stresses that the information given cannot be used as the basis for complaints; complaints can only be based on the catalogue text.

Exemption FROM VAT Buyers shall, according to § 2, pay full VAT on lots marked with an asterix *. No Danish VAT is to be paid when VAT registered companies from other EU countries buy at Bruun Rasmussen and resell to private buyers, The private buyer then only has to pay VAT according to the rules in force in the country where the foreign company is VAT registered. For further information please consult your local authorities.

The above is an English translation of the Danish version of the Conditions of Purchase. In case of dispute, only the Danish version of the present Conditions of Purchase of Bruun Rasmussen is valid.
