Bertil Vallin Swedish Modernist Ceramic Man on Horse Wall Tile Sculpture

About the Item

Swedish modernist partially glazed ceramic tile wall hanging created by Bertil Vallien, circa 1960s. Tile measures 11.25" by 15.75" by 5/8" and is signed on the front Vallin. In very good vintage 1960s condition. Swedish glass master Bertil Vallien was born in 1938 in a suburb north of Stockholm, where he felt the inclination to be an artist from a very early age. He studied ceramics at the Konstfack School of Arts, Crafts, and Design in Stockholm, then spent two years at the School for Advanced Industrial Design. His love of ceramics took him the Los Angeles for a position with HAL Fromholt Ceramics, and soon he was meeting artists, critics, and gallery owners, attending events at California universities, and exhibiting his ceramics. In 1963, he was invited back to Sweden by the C.H. Åfors glass-factory, where he contributed to a successful reorganization of the company and designed many of their most well-known lines.
