GUSTAVSBERG 200 YEARS
Berndt Friberg at the potter's wheel. © Stig T Karlsson/Värmdö kommun.
Gustavsberg 200 Years Bicentennial Section “There has always been a fairy-tale shimmer over ceramic creation, perhaps primarily due to the excitement of the transforming power of fire, the process in the heat of the kiln, when the soft clay becomes hard, the matte glaze is transformed into a shiny shell and the color ignites in the decoration.” In the foreword to the exhibition catalogue that was published in connection with Gustavsberg’s 150th anniversary exhibition at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm 1975, curator Eva Nordenson romantically writes about the porcelain factory in the small harbor of Gustavsberg. As Gustavsberg now celebrates its 200th anniversary, the production from the golden age of the 20th century still has a fairy-tale shimmer about it. A contributing factor to the factory’s sustained role has been that the individual artistic efforts of industrial artists already played a brilliant role in Gustavsberg’s production at the end of the 19th century. In a curated section of this sale, we have had the ambition to showcase how artistic efforts have been a significant element in the development of ceramic art during the 20th century. Studio goods are presented alongside sought-after serial production in this section of just over 90 lots, where some of the factory’s leading designers such as Wilhelm Kåge, Berndt Friberg, Stig Lindberg and Lisa Larson are represented with several works.

FURNITURE AND WORKS OF ART
Bröderna Malmströms metallvarufabrik Bröderna Malmströms metallvarufabrik (1904–1974) holds a place among Scandinavia’s foremost lighting design manufacturers, alongside Arvid Böhlmarks lampfabrik, Elektriska AB Chr. Bergh & Co. (Cebe/Asea), Nordiska Kompaniet, and Ateljé Lyktan. Bröderna Malmströms ’technical expertise produced notable advancements, including Sweden’s first safety-marked lamp holder and six lighting patents. The company was founded by the artisan brothers Sven and Hugo Malmström, who rapidly gained an international reputation in the lighting industry. The brothers, with their hundreds of skilled metalworkers in Malmö, rivaled Austrian and German manufacturers among others for commissions to create spectacular luminaires for clients in St. Petersburg, Russia. The foundation of their operation lay in their foundry, metalworking skills, and surface treatment, with gold bronzing as a specialty. (The company’s telegraphic address was ”gold bronce” in Swedish.) In 1914, Johan Jakobsson, a goldsmith from Royal Purveyor jeweller Emil O Möller in Malmö, was hired. He swiftly ascended to the role of supervisor. His enduring impact on the company’s high quality standards is undeniable. After a period of decline due to the global interwar crisis in the 1920s, M.Sc. K.G. Lindesvärd, previously a sales executive at Chr. Bergh & Co., took over the company in 1926. Goldsmith Jakobsson remained, and a period of renewal commenced, with K.G. as head of design and engineering and Jakobsson as head of manufacturing. However, the well-established name Bröderna Malmströms was wisely retained, as was the brothers ’renowned craftsmanship legacy.
Beginning in 1930, they distinguished themselves with hyper-modern, chrome-plated, functionalist luminaires. In 1933, Bröderna Malmströms issued Scandinavia’s largest design catalogue for public and industrial lighting, showcasing their modern product range. One of the prestigious assignments from this period was the lighting fixtures for the Helsingborg Concert Hall designed by architect Sven Markelius. These luminaires are still in use today. Another notable commission was the special luminaires made entirely of nickel silver for the Swedish State Railways ’royal train car. In 1939, Bröderna Malmströms received another prestigious assignment from Markelius: the New York World’s Fair. Here, a creative collaboration began with the young star architect Carl-Axel Acking, who was commissioned to design the interior of the Swedish pavilion’s international reception room for chief commissioner Folke Bernadotte and his business staff. This collaboration resulted in groundbreaking lighting product features, such as perforated brass reflectors, leather-clad pillars, and wicker-braided glass. The New York luminaires once again electrified Bröderna Malmströms’ presence on the world stage. The collaboration with Carl-Axel Acking spanned many years, producing around forty products and several interiors. Other creative collaborations included those with Gunnar Asplund (Statens Bakteriologiska Laboratorium), Erik Lallerstedt (several Swedish post offices), Stig Blomberg (Kungl Veterinärhögskolan), Elias Svedberg (HSB’s head office), and Alvar Aalto (Edgar J. Kaufmann Conference Center, New York). Text: Eric Lindesvärd

Anna Petrus Anna Petrus was born into a family of academics in Uppsala, Sweden. After graduating from high school, she studied sculpture in London at Chelsea Polytechnic School. Back in Stockholm, she continued her studies at Althins Målarskola, where Petrus made good friends among her fellow students, including Siri Derkert, Märta Anckarsvärd and Greta Ruuth. Petrus then went on to the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, where she began studying printmaking, before continuing with sculpture. In 1914, Petrus exhibited her prints at the Baltic Exhibition in Malmö. Petrus participated with nine linocuts as a member of the Swedish Printmakers’ Association. At that time, she had a combined studio and residence by the Tennis Pavilion in central Stockholm - a collective of female artists who opposed the conservative and male-dominated art world. In February 1916, Anna Petrus, together with her friend Greta Ruuth, had her real debut exhibition in the then premises of the Swedish Association for Art on Västra Trädgårdsgatan at Kungsträdgården in Stockholm. A variety of prints in various techniques but also a group of sculptures were shown, often expressive studies of men and women. The following year, Petrus and her artist friend Siri Derkert arranged a traveling exhibition that would start from Den Frie in Copenhagen. The Danish capital became a kind of waiting room for Paris during the war years. Once back in Stockholm in 1920, Petrus planned a larger exhibition of sculpture at the newly opened Swedish-French Art Gallery. Shortly before it was time for the opening, she was struck by a personal disaster. The studio at the Tennis Pavilion burned down and only a few sculptures could be saved from the fire. After the miserable situation, Petrus undertook a longer journey, first to Italy, then via North Africa to Paris. In North Africa, she found direct inspiration in the so-common smoking tables. Back in Stockholm and the new studio on Riddargatan in central Stockholm, Petrus came to focus on crafts rather than sculpture and graphics. She executed several different types of trays in a va-

204. Anna Petrus (Sweden, 1886–1949) a pewter top tray table on a base by Uno Åhrén, executed in her studio, Stockholm, ca 1922–25. The pewter top with punched and chiselled decoration of putti, faun, mermaid, dragon amidst floral ornamentation, signed A Petrus in the pewter, the base of black-lacquered birch with baluster-shaped leg on a four-sided, profiled foot. Height 50 cm, 41.5 x 41.5 cm. Provenance: Cooperator and author Anders Hedberg (1895-1985), Stockholm. Thence by descent to the present owner.
Estimate: SEK 300 000 – 400 000 / EUR 27 300 – 36 400
riety of materials; pewter, copper and sometimes with elements of silver. The trays were provided with richly chiseled and punched decoration and were sometimes combined with artful bases, sometimes sculpted in wood by Petrus herself, and sometimes designed by her architect friend Uno Åhrén. A well-received exhibition in the studio in December 1922 resulted in a selection of trays and tables being selected to be shown at the Gothenburg Tercentennial Jubilee Exposition the following year. In 1925, journalist Nils G. Wollin writes in the magazine of the Swedish Crafts Association how Petrus’s “admirable technique shows evidence of a far from ordinary perseverance in the laborious execution” and mentions the trays as “original entries in modern, Swedish applied art”. At the same time, Petrus began working in cast pewter and designed, among other things, various types of candlesticks and inkstands with lion motifs executed at Herman Bergman’s art foundry in Stockholm. These models were later shown at the great Swedish industrial art exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Art Institute of Chicago in 1927. At the International Industrial Art Exhibition in Paris in 1925, Petrus participated with display tables, door lintels and columns made of cast iron from Näfveqvarns Bruk. Around 1926-28, the collaboration with Estrid Ericson and Firma Svenskt Tenn was established, resulting in several, today iconic models. With her sculptural and artistic approach to industrial art, Anna Petrus held a special position alongside contemporary designers, and contributed to a renewal of Swedish pewter art in the 1920s. Her period as an active craftswoman and sculptor was still shortlived, and early furniture like the present tray table, executed in her own studio during the 1920s, are to be regarded as real rarities.

Charlotte Perriand The innovative French architect and designer Charlotte Perriand spoke of “l’art d’habiter,” or the “art of living.” She saw her designs not simply as objects but as part of a larger social program to extend the pleasures of modern life. Her long career encompassed much of the history of modern design in France, and over the years Perriand collaborated with Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Jean Prouvé. Through her own practice, she led projects in Europe, Asia, and South America. Born in Paris in 1903, Perriand trained in furniture design at the Central Union of Decorative Arts school (École de l’Union Centrale des Arts Décoratifs) between 1920 and 1925, during the golden age of Art Deco. After graduating, Perriand sought employment with the modernist architect Le Corbusier, who in 1927 offered her a job in his studio. There, she was responsible for interior design and a series of notable exhibitions. In the 1930s, Perriand shifted her focus, and her outlook became more egalitarian and democratic. In her designs of the period, she began to use traditional materials such as wood and rattan, which were more affordable alternatives to the chromed steel of modernist machine-age design. Perriand came to find inspiration in the rusticity of furniture made in Savoie in the French Alps, where she often visited her paternal grandparents. At the end of the 1930s, she designed the first of a series of tables that would come to be known as “forme libre” or “free-form”. When the Germans occupied Paris in the summer of 1940, Perriand left France for Japan. Her interest in traditional crafts continued to grow during her years in exile, when she studied traditional Japanese woodwork and weaving. Perriand returned to France after the end of the war in 1946, heavily influenced by Eastern culture, both in terms of design and philosophy of life. During the second half of the 1940s, Perriand was in high demand, and through her own practice she led many notable projects at the same time. In March 1956, Galerie Steph Simon opened on Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris. Perriand was the gallery’s artistic director and leading exhibitor alongside Jean Prouvé. The gallery issued several of Perriand’s furniture models designed during the 1930s and onwards, mainly executed in the workshop of master cabinetmaker André Chetaille. The series of organically shaped furniture grew, and the present table is arguably one of Perriand’s most iconic forms. Not only for its beauty but because in many ways it sums up her humanist design, with an emphasis on human tactile values. The table is made of solid mahogany, where the curvature of the top is shaped so that all those sitting can face each other, and the thickness and profile of the top correspond to the shape and size of a human hand. The form is thus not random, but carefully considered by Perriand to practice the “art of living”.

The platinum jubilee of the ‘Tånga’ carpet In 2025, one of Barbro Nilsson’s most appreciated design ‘Tånga’ turns 70. Barbro Nilsson had been the artistic director of Aktiebolaget Märta Måås-Fjetterström since the death of Märta Måås-Fjetterström in 1941. Her first carpet designed for AB MMF was ‘Snäckorna’ and, like “Tånga”, it was influenced by the nature around Barbro Nilsson. ‘Tånga’ made its entrance in the summer of 1955, when Helsingborg hosted Sweden’s largest exhibition of crafts and architecture since 1930. H-55 (as the exhibition came to be known) lasted for 80 days and was organized by the City of Helsingborg and the Swedish Crafts Association. Over 1000 exhibitors from 8 different countries were represented. King Gustaf VI Adolf and Queen Louise opened the exhibition followed by a speech by Prime Minister Tage Erlander. Placed at the restaurant on the parapet was the carpet ‘Tånga’ which today, 70 years later, is the most sought after item internationally that was launched at H-55. Barbro Nilsson, unlike Märta Måås-Fjetterström, wanted to make carpets in several color scales and at the auction we see several examples of this. See lots 420 ‘Tånga mellanblå’, 420A ‘Tånga gul’ and 421 ‘Tånga brun och grön’.

Lars Arby Bukowskis is delighted to present a collection of works by the silversmith Lars Arby at our live auction, Modern Art & Design. Arby’s artistry was recently exhibited at the art museum Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde in Stockholm. His personal and distinctive style of jewelry and corpus items were featured as the main attraction in the celebrated exhibition “Silver” from 25 April to 22 September 2024. Lars Arby passed away in 2002, but his experimental silver items continue to fascinate and inspire new generations. In 1964, Arby became a member of the innovative guild of gold- and silversmiths named Nutida Svenskt Silver (Contemporary Swedish Silver), which was founded the year before. Together with this group, he held several highly praised exhibitions. Born in Johanneberg in Sweden in 1933, Arby began his artistic education at Konstfack (University of Arts, Crafts and Design) in Stockholm, graduating in 1956. He continued his studies at the School of Design and Crafts in Gothenburg until 1958. He ran his own business as a designer and silversmith until his death in Gothenburg in 2002. Arby’s original style is marked by its time and stands in opposition to the strict aesthetics of earlier functionalism. With masterful craftsmanship and a free, playful approach to the traditionally heavy material, Arby occupies a unique position and has inspired later generations of silversmiths. He forged, welded, enamelled, drilled, and chiselled to achieve the form he sought. In the early 1980s, Lars Arby suffered a stroke, rendering him unable to continue working, and his creations were locked away in a bank vault where they have remained until now. It is an honour for Bukowskis to present and auction these items, many of which have not been seen for over forty years. Lars Arby’s works are now represented in, among others, the Röhsska Museum and the Nationalmuseum in Sweden.

Vivianna Torun Bülow-Hübe Vivianna Torun Bülow Hübe was born in Malmö into a family where art was a natural part of everyday life. Her mother, Runa Bülow Hübe, was a sculptor and her father, Erik Bülow Hübe was a city planner. Torun had her first child, Pia, as an 18-year-old. She moved to Stockholm with her small child to start at her education at Konstfack. In her spare time, Torun began working with simple materials such as cane, brass, leather etcetera and created African-inspired jewellery. She made these at home in her studio or in the park Humlegården while Pia was playing. She was given the opportunity to sell her creations to Estrid Ericson who sold them in her store “Svenskt Tenn” at Strandvägen. In the summer of 1948, Torun went to Paris where she hung out in artistic circles with, for example, Braque, Brancusi, Matisse and others. In Paris, she met her husband to be, the architect Jean-Pierre Serbonnet, with whom she had her son Claude. The couple lived in Stockholm where Torun had a small studio. She sold her jewellery herself, but also via Svenskt Tenn and in a shop at Sibyllegatan. The family visited Paris frequently, and in 1952 Torun exhibited her jewellery in Paris for the first time. Torun had a license to stamp in both Sweden and France, therefore some of her jewellery has Swedish stamps, others French. In 1952 Torun divorced the French architect and in 1956 she moved to Paris and met her second husband, the African-American Walter Coleman. She came to spend time mainly with Walter’s friends in musicians and artist circles. Billie Holiday was one of Torun’s customers at the time. Over time, it became difficult being African-American living in Paris and the couple moved to Biot. On the local beaches, she
picked beach stones that she incorporated into her jewellery. Through various contacts, Torun had the opportunity to exhibit her jewellery at the Musée Picasso in 1958. Torun had her studio at home in her house. It was an active period with various apprentices and regular visits of Swedish blacksmiths. When her marriage ended in 1965, Torun took her children back to Sweden for a new start. Life became too lonely, though, and Torun moved to Germany in 1968. In this period, the collaboration with Georg Jensen began. When Jensen introduced Torun’s wellknown watch with mirror glass as a clock face, it was the first wristwatch in the company’s history. The collaboration with Jensen gave Torun financial stability as well as the opportunity to experiment. In 1976, Torun started a studio in Indonesia where they made simple necklaces with mother of pearl and shells. The idea was philanthropic, she provided job opportunities, and the money would go back to the organization to finance orphanages, old people’s homes and hospital-cars, among other things. In 1978, Torun herself moved down to Indonesia. Torun remained in Indonesia with her business until the late 1990s when she moved to Copenhagen with her daughter Marcia and her family. Torun exhibited a large number of times during the 1990s. She died of cancer in 2004. Torun was a designer that wasn’t only a pioneering silversmith by being a woman. She was a pioneer in creating those beautiful modernistic pieces of jewellery based on silver combined with glass drops, beach stones etc in such a timeless manner that has given her such a fine world repute.

Gunilla Palmstierna-Weiss and Torun Bülow-Hübe got to know each other while both studying at the University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Palmstierna-Weiss is today best known for her work in the theatre world. She worked both with scenography and with costumes, internationally and in Sweden, often with her husband, the writer and artist Peter Weiss, but also on several occasions with Ingmar Bergman. At the University of Arts, Crafts and Design Palmstierna-Weiss studied ceramics among other things, and she later ran her own ceramics workshop in the mid-1950s. During their time at school, the women collaborated on creating silver necklaces with stoneware designed by Palmstierna-Weiss, and in the mid-1950s, they had a joint exhibition in Paris at Galerie du Siècle, a gallery that was an important venue in Bülow-Hübe’s career.
