Hugo Larsen's works are seldomly sold at the auctions. It may be because he is relatively unknown, it may be because he was not very productive, but I am inclined to believe that the real reason is the affection of the owners of Hugo Larsen's paintings and drawings.
On this page are a number of auction records that I have been able to identify. They are noted in chronological order of the auctions. I owe Peter Heiberg and Sanja Storm Tuxen my thanks for their help and support in creating this list.
If you know about any of the paintings/drawings listed below, please contact me. I would also be happy if you would pass any information about other auctions including works by Hugo Larsen, be it past or future auctions.
