Description

This is an art glass sculpture, stand included, by Swedish artist Bertil Vallien for Kosta Boda. The limited edition sculpture is from the artist's "Boat" series and depicts a canoe-shaped piece of transparent neon-green glass. The sides of the glass feature a textured finish with a hazy green coloring which evoke a feeling of water and movement. The top of the sculpture is polished smooth and allows the viewer to look down into the center of the boat which features a three-dimensional abstract tube-like shape. The shape has spirals running through it. It is accompanied by a red, outstretched male figure, as if he is swimming towards the abstract shape. The stand is a smaller black wooden rectangle with four short dowel rods inserted into the top to hold the boat. The boat can be placed on it's side facing forward or upright. The sculpture has an etched signature "Kosta Boda, B. Vallien," and it's numbered." The boat measures 7" long, 2.25" wide, and 1.5" deep. The stand measures 4" long, 2.75" wide, and .75" deep with the rods adding another .5". The piece is in excellent condition with no damage of any kind.
