Hertha Hillfon

de Petter Eklund, Love Jönsson

Hertha Hillfon (1921-2013) was Sweden?s leading ceramic sculptor of the 20th century. Her work ranged from abstract to figurative and from dramatically ebullient compositions to simple, domestic motifs. Frequent newspaper reports, TV programmes and a large number of works in the public domain led to her becoming both well-known and popular. In this book she is presented by critical essays as well as interviews with people close to her. The book is richly illustrated, partly with hitherto unpublished photographs.00Exhibition: Rian designmuseum, Falkenberg, Sweden (12.06-29.08.2021).
