Cubist ‘model study’ by Kristian Holmqvist, Sweden 1970s

About the Item

This evocative terracotta sculpture by Swedish artist Kristian Holmqvist was crafted in 1970s Sweden, capturing the essence of Scandinavian modernism through bold abstraction and raw materiality. The form strikes a powerful balance between geometric and organic, with sculptural planes that shift depending on the angle of view—each perspective offering a new interpretation. Its earthy terracotta surface reflects the hand of the artist, revealing subtle textures and tool marks that enhance its presence. Both primitive and futuristic in spirit, this piece is a testament to Holmqvist’s exploration of form and emotion in a post-war design context. • Medium: Terracotta • Artist: Kristian Holmqvist • Date: 1970s • Origin: Sweden • Style: Mid-Century Modern / Abstract • Condition: Excellent vintage condition with light wear appropriate to age
