HUGO SIMBERG'S FORGOTTEN MASTERPIECE -
ON DISPLAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 90 YEARS!
Best-known as a symbolist and creator of fantasy-like images, one of Hugo Simberg's (1873-1917) most beloved etchings is Winter road I. However, only few have been aware, that the graphic work is based on Simberg's atmospheric winter painting.
Simberg had been accepted to the Artists' Association in 1898 and the following year he was elected as a teacher to the Vyborg Art Friends' drawing school. This was significant period in his life; Simberg had grown to a real artist and held his breakthrough exhibition. Ahead was also a journey to the Caucasus, to meet his brother, railway engineer Carl Alexander, who was in Tbilisi, in charge of building the railway network.
By the end of the 19th century, the themes of death and devil had already gained a foothold in Simberg's production, but the public had little understanding yet. Symbolism had quietly arrived into the artist's work, particularly since already in 1894 Aunt Alexandra had urged the young painter to abandon his old-fashioned art studies, apparently encouraging him to venture into a new path of symbolism.
In March 1899, Simberg travelled to the shores of river Vuoksi in Antrea (Kamennogorsk), where he painted landscapes in the village of Kuukauppi. He admires in his letters the most beautiful winter mornings. According to Simberg, the light shimmers in the snow like crystals, and he is unable to look at it. In Antrea, Simberg painted Pappilanniemi, presenting a lonely sledge on a winter ice, drawn by a horse, with a hill rising in the distance and a day dimming in cold weather. The work is interestingly modern and simple, even a meticulous image of a winter day. The tranquility of the landscape is typical of the Simberg's expression dismantled of all unnecessary. With a few lines and carefully considered shades, Simberg has achieved a calm and impressive painting.
"It's fantastic to have a long-hidden work from Simberg's best and most interesting period on sale. The work contains all the finest elements of the artist and emphasizes the image of winter etched in every Finn's soul; a rugged landscape and at the same time an understanding towards nature", rejoices Joachim Borgström, CEO of Hagelstam & Co.
The work was purchased directly from the artist and has been in the same family ever since. It was last seen in public in Vyborg in 1931. The painting will be sold at Classic Auction. Estimate 25 000 euros.
We wish to thank Helena Ruuska for her expertise help.

In Akseli Gallen-Kallela's art, the 1880s already marked a period of great works and thematically interesting motifs. Old Woman with a cat, Démasquée, the first Aino triptych, In sauna. The young Gallen-Kallela had proved to be a remarkable and highly unique painter: his works were also presented at the Salon de la Société des Artistes français in Paris, in which the artist participated in 1886, 1888 and 1889. Gallen-Kallela had studied at the drawing school of the Finnish Art Society Helsinki as well as in Académie Julian and the private studio of the artist Fernand Cormon in Paris. His style relied on French naturalism, but at the same time it was boldly personal and the brushwork was free.
The Lake View from the Mountain (in Mänttä) is an atmospheric picture of possibly a spring day, as the sun is already warm, but the trees on the opposite shore are still leafless. The sunlight is depicted masterfully, the water visible between the pine trees and the hill further away are presented in different shades of blue and green, creating a harmonious and peaceful entity. At the same time, however, the composition of the work is interestingly dramatic; the cliffs in the foreground give support to the viewer, admiring the moment in the artist's life. For a while, the viewer stands next to Gallen-Kallela, watching the calm water. The work also presents indications of the artist's determined pursuit of romantic nationalism and austere landscape interpretation.
The Mänttä and Keuruu region was familiar to Gallen-Kallela. He even spent considerable periods there, particularly in the winter and summer of 1887, when he worked on the portrait of his patron and friend Gustaf Adolf Serlachius, commercial counsellor. Presumably, Gallen-Kallela also painted landscape sketches and depicted the people of the region.
According to academian, Professor Onni Okkonen, Gallen-Kallela's gaze "saw to the deeper, more inner, symbolic reality. Culturally, he was superior to his surroundings and could look at it further from the French horizon - as a Nordic symbolizing romantic. "
The Lake View is one of the pieces that start the artist's path towards new Kalevala-themed paintings and strongly symbolic works, to the significant images of Finnishness. Reminiscences of Kullervo's Curse, The Great Black Woodpecker and Shepherd Boy from Paanajärvi, painted in Kuusamo, can be found in the Lake View, of a very Finnish landscape. Akseli Gallen-Kallela was an artist whose creative power initially pushed the Finnish art to realism and romantic nationalism. He himself admitted that "[...] my whole life is in my brush ..." The artist, who has later been considered even as the greatest of the Finnish painters, was emphatic that his task was to paint symbolism and create a pictorial language for the people he loved.
The work comes from a significant private collection. Estimate 120 000 euros.
The work has been examined with EDXRF analysis. We wish to thank the Gallen-Kallela Museum for their expertise.

Reflections of Nature - Akseli Gallen-Kallela Landscape Art, Gallen-Kallela Museum, Tarvaspää 1980.

Hagelstam & Co organized the first Modern + Urban Art auction of the year on Thursday, January 28th, 2021. Modern and contemporary art, quality design and urban art were on sale.
During these exceptional times when time spent at home is emphasized, we need beauty, joy and a touch of magic to our lives. The imaginative stories and moods of Birger Kaipiainen's impressive ceramic works fascinate collectors from generation to generation. Demand for Kaipiainen's works was at its peak again; up to 15 works were for sale, with hammer prices ranging between 260 euros and 19 000 euros.
Paavo Tynell's snowflakes - the brass gems of Finnish handicrafts - received high interest again. The loose snowflakes for the legendary luminaire designed by Tynell, 13 pieces in total, were sold for 6 500 euros. Thus, the value of one beautiful snowflake became a whopping 500 euros!
The Tove Boom won't end! The calm still-life of Finland's perhaps most beloved artist, Tove Jansson, was sold for 24 000 euros. The work is a French-inspired, elegant modern blue-coloured painting with a glimpse of cityscape in the background of the cyclames.
"It's wonderful that people understand Tove Jansson's artistry isn't just about the moomins. Tove was very adept at depicting different moods and conveying modern life to the viewer", reminds CEO Joachim Borgström.
The most exciting sale of the evening was seen with the work 'Leopard' by La Grande Dame of the Finnish expressionism, Leena Luostarinen. The work was on display for the first time in forty years - it was originally presented in the artist's breakthrough exhibition at the Galleria Sculptor in 1981. The painting acquired at Sculptor had since been in a private collection. 'Leopard' became the most expensive Luostarinen ever sold, at a world record price of 55 000 euros.
At the end of the evening, the works in the Urban Art category were sold. The world-class trend, urban art, street art, inspired the buyers. The sale of the works was again success, with pieces acquired to Finnish and international private collections.
26th of January

Urban art is currently considered as one of the central and significant phenomena in the field of contemporary art. Through urban artists, street art and graffiti, the debate in the art world is opening up. Statements, bold experiments, understanding art in a new way - all thanks to Urban Art.
As the pioneer in Finland, Hagelstam & Co is now organizing the Urban Art auction for the second time, as part of our modern sale. Presented are 15 artists with character and the ability to break boundaries and bring increasingly interesting art to private collections.

23rd of January

One of the best-loved Finnish names in expressionist art, Professor, Pro Finlandia awarded Leena Luostarinen (1949-2013), is known particularly for her large-scale paintings that tend to be mystical, with autobiographical references and beauty based on tones.
In Luostarinen's works, the atmosphere transcends form and the noble felines attract attention. The viewer cannot miss the similarity between Luostarinen's characters and the ancient Egyptian beliefs. For the Egyptians, the cat symbolized holiness - man's sacred connection to the gods. It was also believed cats had protective power.
Luostarinen's impressive 'Leopard' is on sale at the Modern + Urban Art auction. The work is seen now for the first time in forty years. It was acquired from Luostarinen's exhibition held at Galleria Sculptor in 1981 and has since belonged to the same Finnish private collection.
Estimate 20 000 euros.
11th of January

The silver period of Ahti Lavonen's (1928-1970) informalist art began in the 1960s. Tired of the various shades of white alone, Lavonen was particularly enthusiastic about the era's development of the man experiencing space and the universal conception of art. Colour symbolism was central to Lavonen's production, and in addition to accentuating aesthetic values, also interesting was the inner experience as seen through the material. In an interview in 'Jaana' magazine in 1969, Lavonen emphasized the importance of visual art as a mediator between space and the person on earth. According to him, particularly the silver shades represented the era in question.
In the silver-themed painting, the varied rhythm of the colour surfaces brings calm serenity to the work. The surface of the painting is uneven - it combines rough brownish with silver brightness and simple lines. Interaction with the work, itself a typical feature of informalism, is significant. The viewers may find intersections with themselves and reflect on the picture's optimism.
The painting will be sold at Modern + Urban Art Auction on 28th of January. Estimate 25 000 euros.

MY CHOICE IS...
Joachim Borgström, CEO and specialist at Hagelstam & Co, likes Helene Schjerfbeck's 'Girl in National Costume' now on sale at the Classic auction. The work was painted in 1879.
Probably Finland's internationally best-known artist, Helene Schjerfbeck (1862-1946), painted several impressive studies and historical paintings in the late 1870s. 'Girl in National Costume' depicts Kans-Karin, a delicate and somewhat shy girl from Dalarna. At the time, Helene was studying at Adolf von Becker's private academy and was already indicating great potential: she was awarded the third prize in the Finnish Art Society's Ducat Competition.
'Schjerfbeck is interesting in her ability to transform, a bit like Picasso', Borgström remarks. 'The artist administrated masterfully the very classical way of painting and at the same time was able to develop into a more modern artist. This work is a wonderfully fresh painting, and already at such an early stage a brisker touch can be seen than with many contemporaries; a hint of modern sketchiness.'
The starting price of 'The Girl in the National Costume' is 25 000 euros.

MY CHOICE IS...
Tero Metsärinta, specialist at Hagelstam & Co, chose Emil Cedercreutz's wonderful dog sculpture as his favourite from the Classic auction.
The sculptor, noble gentleman Emil Cedercreutz (1879-1949) studied at Finland's first line of sculptor training at the Academy of Arts. He later continued his art studies abroad, e.g. in Paris, where he was impressed by the work of Auguste Rodin, for example. Cedercreutz's sculptural technique is characterized by a sketchy grip. He is particularly known for his horse statues and his animal characters are lively and interesting. It is said that Marshal Mannerheim himself stated that "Anyone can carve me, but only Emil Cedercreutz can carve a horse under me."
"Cedercreutz's rare dog statue is a great object", Tero Metsärinta smiles. "As a dog person, I value the talented artist's eye and ability to portray an animal. Besides, art is also meant to delight and that's exactly what this sculpture does! "
The estimate of the sculpture is 1300 euros.

24th of November 2020
MY CHOICE IS...
Hagelstam & Co's specialist Tuomas Rossi's choice at the Classic auction is von Wright's impressive bird painting, 'Hazel Grouse'. The work was executed in 1887.
The youngest of the von Wright siblings, Ferdinand (1822-1906), received instruction in bird painting from his older brother Magnus. Ferdinand, who proved to be a diligent painter and draftsman, was simultaneously a spontaneous and precise maker whose hues glowed naturalness.
At the turn of the 1830s and 1840s, Ferdinand lived in Sweden with his brother Wilhelm, and learned oil painting techniques. As he returned home, he began to also paint different subjects with determination. Ferdinand's portraits and landscapes, as well as interesting still-lifes, appear to be historical genre images; of moments and atmospheres.
However, animal paintings always remained at the center of Ferdinand von Wright's art. In his classic bird paintings, he depicts bird life impressively and sophistically. After a study trip to Dresden in 1858, Ferdinand focused on creating works featuring particularly birds of prey and game. In the 1860s, a number of black grouse and capercaillie themes were born, and the ideas are repeated in his later production.
'Von Wright's brothers' interest in nature is tangible', Rossi ponders. 'Ferdinand had clearly examined and followed the life of the birds in the wild and was well acquainted with ornithology. The work also has a particularly fine and atmospheric background.'
The starting price of 'Hazel Grouse' is 15,000 euros.

PART OF THE HISTORY OF FINNISH LIGHTING
Hagelstam & Co's Nordic Lights Auction presents fantastic wall-lights by Paavo Tynell. The 1916 founded movie theatre Titania in Rauma was destroyed in the Finnish Winter War in February 1940, and the lighting for a new theatre Iso-Hannu was ordered from Paavo Tynell and Taito Oy, his well-known design company. The result is unbelievably imaginative; the wall-lights have curling forms with beautiful glass shades.
The auction also presents pieces from e.g. Lisa Johansson-Pape, Alvar Aalto and Ilmari Tapiovaara.
The viewing is open at Tehtaankatu 36, between 23rd-28th of October, weekdays at 11 a.m.-7 p.m. and on weekend 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
The auction will be held on Thursday 29th of October starting at 3 p.m.

THE BEAUTY OF NORTHERN LIGHTS
The Nordic Light is a concept; a completely unique phenomena. During the summer, the light washes over Finland and the sun does not set in the north. In the winter, the dusk shadows the whole country and homes are lit by man-made artificial light.
Hagelstam & Co's Nordic Lights Auction will present lighting from different decades, by known designers and newer names. They all share a particularly wondrous vision of lighting - light - and shaping it to even more interesting, beautiful and spectacular. Through design, the nordic light has been captured; the light more fantastic than anywhere else in the world.
We are now accepting consignments for the auction. Our clients seek pieces from designers like Paavo Tynell, Lisa Johansson-Pape, Alvar Aalto, Heikki Turunen, Harri Koskinen and Eero Aarnio.
You can contact our specialists and request a free estimate of your objects and get more information about the auction.
The auction will be held on Thursday 29th of October, starting at 3 p.m.

BREAKING THE TRADITION - MEET LYNN CHADWICK'S WORK
The British sculptor Lynn Russell Chadwick's (1904-2003) vision of art was slightly mystic - he believed in the artist's capability to find interpretations from the imaginary. Originally studying to become an architect, Chadwick was impressed by the Jacob Epstein's works and drifted towards the sculpture.
In 1956 he was awarded with an international sculpture award in the Biennial in Venice, among seven other young British sculptors. Chadwick became known for his abstract expression and architectonic touch. The pieces are often bronze or other metal and the presented figures are edgy and strong. The monumentality is immanent, even if the size of the piece would be small. Lynn Chadwick's works are included in e.g. MoMa's, Tate Gallery's and Centre Georges Pompidou's collection.
In Hagelstam & Co's Modern + Urban Art Auction we present a wonderful, almost cubistic piece by Chadwick. The estimate is 16 000 euros. See details here .

FOUR STEPS TO JEWELLERY
1. Pioneering Bracelets
Dare
to stand out! Jewellery is your chance to reflect your personality and project
it around you. The bracelet is a personal choice and you can use it to signal
things important to you. The bracelet also rests over your carotid artery -
thus symbolising how the heart is connected to the actions.
2. The New Coming of the Pearl
The softly shimmering pearl jewellery has always been popular with beauties and it tells everything about its wearer. Russian Tsar Nicholas II gifted his daughters a pearl as a birthday present, and as they came of age, they had a beautiful pearl necklace put together. Do remember that pearls get their shine from your skin. Should you forget to use them, your pearls will become lacklustre. Therefore, you are always an integral part of your pearl necklace.
3. Diamonds are Forever
The diamond symbolizes purity and perfection and it is also thought to have spiritual powers. A diamond has often been seen as a sign of mutual love and loyalty between a married couple. But you can also get a diamond for yourself - as a jewel it is invincible and timeless.
4. Miss Time
Aiming perfection, the award-winning Swiss watchmaker Baume & Mercier believes in the uniqueness of the woman. In their watches, elegance has always been combined with innovative design. The feminine wristwatch has timelessness and at the same time a unique style. Baume & Mercier's production is ethical and the company is also a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council.

HELENE SCHJERFBECK'S BEAUTIFUL GIFT TO THE COMPOSER ERKKI MELARTIN
Hagelstam & Co is extremely pleased to present the highlight of the spring's Classic auction, one of the best-loved modernists in the world, Helene Schjerfbeck's enchanting work on appleblossom tree.
During the years, Schjerfbeck's way to paint had eventually become freer, with a hint of abstractism. Her style is atmospheric and instantly recognisable and expressive brushstrokes are presenting colour even more as an independent part of the painting. The work is a dream-like vision of a beautiful spring landscape. The glowing pastel-toned hues have blended to each other and with a powdery light create an impression of a lovely, sunny day. On the reverse side of the painting is a sketch to the Halkopoika; neighbour's son Einari Sahrman (Mäkinen?) from Hyvinkää.
Helene Schjerfbeck painted the work in the 1910s. According to the leading expert on her works, Leena Ahtola-Moorhouse, the picture was sent to the composer Erkki Melartin, who admired greatly Schjerfbeck's paintings, before 1917. Melartin had hoped to get a sketch from the artist already a couple of years before, thus probably receiving the work Young Girl (A Study for a tapestry).
The painting will be sold at Classic Auction, 5th of March.
Estimate is 100 000 euros.
Painting comes for sale from a private collection. Provenance: composer Erkki Melartin and a private family collection. More information, please contact CEO Joachim Borgström, [email protected], +358 (0)40 555 1334.

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION WITH STRONG RESULTS!
Hagelstam & Co organised a 40th anniversary auction on Saturday
23rd of November. The successful sale brought together collectors
globally and the auction room was full of participants. The quality art,
sought-after design, objets de vertu as well as furniture were sold in
an auction with online and telephone participants competing with the
live auction in the room.
The new CEO and the day's auctioneer, Joachim Borgström, was pleased of
the joyful atmosphere. "In the art market, Hagelstam
& Co is well-known for the service-oriented attitude and high regard for
the customer. We are presenting our customers also the hammer sale option.
It was nice to see that it is exactly what the sellers and buyers are
looking for."
The auction lots totalled high hammer prices, with a clear demand for the
Finnish art from the Golden Era, i.e. Ferdinand von Wright,
Amélie Lundahl, Akseli Gallen-Kallela and Pekka Halonen. Also Finnish design with the names like Paavo Tynell, Alvar Aalto, Rut Bryk and
Birger Kaipiainen were sold above high estimate.
Fabergé's workmaster Henrik Wigström's brooch was one of the most
interesting pieces in the auction. After an intense international bidding the
