Description: Sweden Designer Björn Rönnqvist Polychrome Glass Modernist Large "Karisma" Egg Sculpture Circa 2001 Measurements: 10"T x 5.5"W x 5.5"D (25.4cm x 13.97cm x 13.97cm) Stand: 1"T x 2"R (2.54cm x 5.08cm) Markings: 1 of 2 original stickers Handmade Quality Sticker Weight: 3.8 lbs. An absolutely stunning handblown large glass sculptural egg titled Karisma from Swedish Artist Björn Gustav Rönnqvist. The piece is in mint condition with no chips, cracks or damage of any kind. Comes with the original small Perspex stand that features a rubber ring top and two semi-circular cuts so that it could stand upright or safely on its side. I can't find that much out about Ronnquist, but here goes. His full, correctly spelt name is Björn Gustav Rönnquist, and he was born in 1948 and died suddenly at home in Malmö in 2005, aged only 56. He began his career as an illustrator and cartoonist, but moved on to painting and glass design. He enjoyed over 150 exhibitions of his work across the world, from China to the US and across Europe. I can't find many sold works by him in auction databases, but the ones I have found are energetic abstracts in bright colours, made up of rapid brushstrokes. His glass designs are similar, with broad seemingly random bands of primary colours on curving forms. Colour, it seems, was his language. But these Ikea eggs are absolutely everywhere. Indeed, the only photo of him I can find shows him clutching a much larger one. - Courtesy of Mark Hill Publishing
