Peter Linde Busk (b. 1973)
I’ve got no expectations to pass through here again
Danish artist Peter Linde Busk’s striking paintings build on the traditions of European avant-garde movements such as Post-Impressionism, Fauvism, CoBrA and the Art Brut of Jean Dubuffet. Included in the Saatchi Gallery’s exhibition Kaleidoscope in 2019, I've got no expectations to pass through here again (2011) features one of the artist’s iconic figures, dominating the highly complex composition with his confident stance. These protean beings have their origins in figures from both mythical and popular culture, yet the physical forms are made up of a variety of eclectic materials which the artist has in his studio. The artist says his figures – both real and imagined – often take their own forms, with very little direct input from himself, and the resulting evocative and eclectic visual world is often as much a surprise to him as it is to the viewer. Widely exhibited in both London and New York, Busk’s work has been featured in the New York Times, Artforum and Art in America.

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
The canvas, stretcher and attachments appear to be in generally good condition. All collage elements are present and adhere well to their underlying support. There are small areas of lifting in places, in keeping with the artist’s working method. There are two points of lifting with associated folds to the extreme right vertical edge. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
