Important Autumn Sale

Four out of the five highest selling prices this spring auction season in Norway took place at Grev Wedels Plass Auksjoner. Our buyers seek the highest quality, and we have already begun preparing the autumn season. We will be available for general advising and consignments throughout this summer.

The Important Autumn Sale is the season’s main auction and includes works from our most well-known 19th and 20th century masters and established contemporary artists. Over the course of 6 months, we work hard to put together a selection of the highest possible quality, by artists we know are in demand. There is generally a lower price valuation limit of NOK 50,000 for this auction. The Important Autumn Sale will include 50 to 80 carefully selected works, of which there are always auction-records made.
