About the Item

Bertil Vallien is by far the most internationally celebrated glass artist and designer in Sweden. He has received numerous awards and his work is well represented in leading museums around the world. Growing up in Sweden in a devoutly spiritual home, Vallien felt conflicted and believed that the strictures of faith limited his view of the world. It's those same questions that serve as the underlying foundation of his work today.
Bertil Vallien enjoys worldwide fame. He is renowned chiefly for his glass sculptures which he casts in sand - an innovative method in the field of art glass which has enabled him to achieve new and exciting results.
The interior of Vallien's sculptures sparkle and glow. It is not the surface, nor the form, but rather the interior that one senses behind the form. Vallien puts a protective skin over his glass sculptures to enclose the light. There, encapsulated, it leads a life of its own and becomes cosmos of mythical colors, fantastical forms, and universal archetypes.
Vallien's artistry is multi-faceted and always refers to human life - from questions of faith and unknown, mythical worlds, to man's destruction in the archaeological sculptures, in which the horrors of war are hidden in fragments of a lost civilization.
After graduating at the top of his class from the National College of Crafts and Design in Stockholm, a 1961 Royal Foundation Grant funded his two year stay in Los Angeles, where he achieved great success as an award
winning ceramicist. In 1963 Vallien was recruited by legendary glasshouse director Erik Rosen to be an artist/designer for Afors glassworks in southern Sweden. He has been a driving force in the renewal of the Swedish glass industry for more than 40 years. As art director at Åfors, he was largely responsible for introducing changes in the working routines and raising the level of participation of the glassworkers to the status of skilled and specialized craftsmen.
Since the early 1960s, Vallien has been honored for his work in glass. His most impressive accolades include Second Prize at the 1985 Zweiter Coburger Glaspreis in Coburg, Germany; the Visionary Award from the Museum of Arts & Design in New York; the 2005 Gold Medal granted by the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences and an Honorary Doctor of
Philosophy degree from the University of Växjö, Sweden. Vallien's work is owned by some of the world's most important museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois; Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York;
Glasmuseet Ebeltoft in Ebeltoft, Denmark; Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, New York; National Museum Stockholm in
Stockholm, Sweden and The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia
The term Sand-cast glass" has come to be inextricably linked with Bertil Vallien. He took up and developed this originally industrial technique and continues to explore its possibilities. Each technical advance widens and enhances his artistic range, generating countless cycles of themes and motifs- starting in the 1960-70s with the metaphysical boats and continuing with
torsos and monoliths, to the broad and narrow slabs of glass resembling runic stones, or prehistoric "maps" indicating archaeological finds, infused within the congealed glass.
