She is of the generation of artists who brought a new lease of life to the glass industry back in the 1960s, and remains one of the foremost exponents of modern glass design.

Guggisberg (Swiss) and Baldwin (American) have been working together in glass for over twenty years, marrying the “Swedish overlay” and Italian cold-working to create surface texture elaboration more than decoration and embellishment. Some of the cuts, the rounded “Battuto” are cosmic, geomorphic, or biological in a sense, stemming from precision and subtle alterations in their cutting techniques. Glasmuseet Ebeltoft is deighted to have this opportunity to show the work of these two outstanding artists in Denmark.

Despite the high level of collector interest in modern Scandinavian art glass, there have been few if any publications devoted exclusively to Swedish glass made from 1930-1970. The author sets forth a concise history of the two major Swedish glass producers during their peak decades, identifies those artists and designs that are of primary importance, and assigns estimated values to these works. The focus of this work is on limited production, “high end” designs, rather than on the commercial output of these firms. The text is illustrated with color photos from the author’s own outstanding collection as well as a number of illustrations supplied by Bo Knutsson Art & Antiques, perhaps Sweden’s leading dealer in the 20th century Swedish glass.
