Auction: Die Pleite

Saturday 20.12.25
2025 11 Kunstnernes Hus Stian Adlandsvik Foto Tor S Ulstein Kunstdok Web Res 8

It is hereby announced that all objects composing the exhibition Die Pleite by Stian Ådlandsvik, shall be offered for sale by public auction within the galleries of Kunstnernes Hus where the exhibition is currently on show.

Each item—being a faithful witness of the sculptural works presented—may be inspected during regular opening hours, until the day of sale 20th of December 2025.

The auction will be conducted by the Norwegian actor Petter Winther, whose commanding stage presence promises a spirited progression of bids.

A booklet, serving both as exhibition guide and auction catalogue, will be made available to all visitors of the auction for their proper orientation.

On the appointed day, registration will commence at twelve o’clock, and the auction at one pm. All lots shall be opened at exceedingly modest prices. Prospective buyers are reminded that the objects may bear traces of their recent display, and that none have been tested for their former functions. Their provenance is uniform: bankruptcies of Norway, anno 2025.

The highest bidder is to be the buyer, and if any dispute shall arise between two or more bidders, the lot in dispute to be put up again. Upon winning an auction each buyer will receive an official buying contract. Each buyer shall be responsible of picking up the won lot at designated times, that will be communicated to each at some point after the auction. The sculptures will be dismantled by Kunstnernes Hus before pick up. All lots to be taken away, with all faults, at the expence of the purchaser.

Those wishing to secure a desired piece—whether as last-minute Christmas gifts or future relics—are encouraged to attend the proceedings in person.
