2024
Stockholms Auktionsverk Fine Art — Stockholm, Sweden
August–August 2024
In 1956, around 500 of Andersson's works were showcased in a major solo exhibition at the prestigious “Den Frie Udstillning” in Copenhagen. Many of the works now being auctioned at Stockholms Auktionsverk were part of that exhibition, including "Kalejdoskop," "Rythmus," and "Havsgeometri." These pieces feature kaleidoscopic compositions that blur the sense of time and space, merging the concrete with the abstract. Skåne remained Andersson's home base. He lived in the culturally rich city of Helsingborg, had a summer studio at the dramatic Hovs Hallar, and connected with other artists and cultural figures in the fishing village of Knäbäck on Österlen. Andersson was one of those artists who truly “lived with a pen in hand.” His family has shared that he would keep drawing during Sunday dinners and walks, a testament to both his calling and passion. In addition to art, Andersson was interested in philosophy, mathematics, and, above all, the people around him, which is evident in the personal interpretation of his work. During his lifetime, Edvard Andersson was a largely unknown figure to the broader public. Besides the exhibitions mentioned above, he held exhibitions in Stockholm and Malmö, as well as posthumously in Paris and Florida. Andersson received more recognition abroad than in Sweden, with mentions in leading journals such as “La Quotidienne,” “Le Peintre,” “Nouveaux Jours,” and “La Revue.” Finally, in Sweden, the spotlight is once again on him, with this auction’s exhibition allowing us to follow his artistic phases.

Stockholms Auktionsverk — Blå Hallen i Höganäs, Sweden
July–July 2024
An artist's legacy is often too readily described as "forgotten," and perhaps that is not the right term when attempting to summarize Edvard Andersson's life's work in just a few words. A more fitting description might be that his artistic career unfolded quietly, away from the spotlight. His biography revolves around a tobacconist's shop, a girls' secondary school, and the city of Helsingborg, where he absorbed the shifting influences of the European art scene. He received his formal education at the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm. Upon returning to Helsingborg, he took over his father's tobacco shop. In the early 1930s, however, the business was sold when Edvard Andersson accepted a position as an art teacher at the city's girls' school. By that time, he had already undertaken several study trips across Europe. His debut exhibition, held at Killbergs Konstsalong in 1918, marked the beginning of a remarkable artistic journey. Following his development from that year onward is like tracing the evolution of modern painting through some of its most progressive decades. A carefully curated selection presented by Stockholms Auktionsverk Helsingborg reveals clear traces of both the great masters of continental Europe and Sweden's leading modernists. Andersson embraced the artistic movements of his time, transforming them into paintings that are unmistakably his own. His work ranges from representational to highly abstract, and at times he could almost be described as a colourist. Yet regardless of classification, Edvard Andersson's oeuvre deserves recognition as an important contribution to Swedish Modernism.

2023
Uppsala Auktionskammare — Uppsala, Sweden
November–November 2023
The auction features a remarkable selection of paintings by Edvard Andersson, an artist whose work gradually faded from public attention and is today increasingly regarded as a rediscovery of Swedish Modernism. Born in Helsingborg, Andersson moved to Stockholm to study at the Technical School (now the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design). After completing his studies, he broadened his artistic horizons through extended travels in Germany and France. There, he encountered the emerging artistic movements of the early twentieth century, influences that would leave a lasting mark on his own work. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Andersson developed a distinctive visual language characterised by Cubist-inspired forms and a vibrant, expressive palette. Alongside his artistic practice, he worked as an art teacher in Helsingborg, and today his work is represented in the collections of the Helsingborg Museum. In 1918, at the age of 27, Edvard Andersson held his first exhibition at Killbergs Konstsalong in Helsingborg. More than a century later, in the spring of 2023, his captivating paintings returned to public view in a major exhibition at Brösarp Konsthall, marking his reintroduction to the Swedish art scene after many years away from the public eye.
