Kosta Boda Happiness Turquoise Blue

About the Item

After one of his visits to the USA in the 80s, Swedish glass artist Kjell Engman got the inspiration to create Happiness based on the women he saw perform in a gospel choir at a church in Harlem, New York. The women were filled with the joy of life - singing and dancing. The memory of these women and their shape has stayed with him, and he has since then eternalized the memory with curvaceous women in glass. The object is handmade at Kosta Glassworks in Sweden, with hand-painted details, and is part of the Kosta Boda Artist Collection.

  • Kosta Boda Gatekeeper Blue
    By Bertil Vallien
    Located in Wilkes Barre, PA
    Bertil Vallien is devoted and consistent. His objects created for Kosta Boda develop over time, and he is always looking to extract more from his work. Gatekeeper is a case in point. Previous executions range from charcoal drawings to glass and metal objects. In the summer of 2021, large-format adaptations were exhibited in the famous garden of the Royal Palace “Solliden”, on Öland in Sweden, providing a magnificent spectacle for the audience. The two impressive Gatekeeper figures from the exhibition – almost 20 inches tall and fixed by thin wires – gave the impression of drifting. A trademark Vallien face rests inside these shimmering miniature Gatekeepers. This peaceful and mythical sculpture...
