Check out the link for photographs, including a shot of that unreal chess set and an awesome shot of Bergman and JAWS.

Bukowskis, the Swedish auction house operating the event, posted on Twitter twenty-two hours ago:
"The Ingmar Bergman auction is now over and 337 very special lots have new lucky owners. Thank you all."
The 337 lots for sale were auctioned for a total of 18 million Swedish kronor (approximately $2.6 million). The famous Irving Penn portrait, above, fetched 520,000 SEK ($74,200), while the Golden Globe statuette the filmmaker won for Autumn Sonata brought 48,000 SEK ($6,800). The most prized items were the Seventh Seal chess set and a wooden model of the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm. Each sold for 1 million SEK (about $140,000).

I noticed you hadn't had any replies so I'm using my first post to thank you for this. I hadn't heard about it and it was interesting. I especially liked the picture of Bergman with Bruce the shark.
