VALLIEN, BERTIL: A TEN- YEAR RETROSPECTIVE.

Author:
Year: 1999
Country or State of Origin: Cleveland

For thirty years, Bertil Vallien has been an innovator of Swedish glass art, and a driving force in the industrial-art production at the Swedish glass factories. Renowned chiefly for his glass sculptures which he casts in sand, Vallien can also be attributed with revolutionizing glass technology as well as refining the quality of individual creativity. Including wonderful written critique and graphic representation of this body of work, this catalog aims to present not only a review of ten years of his creativity but also to offer the collector the unique opportunity to acquire pieces from the various series executed during this period.
