CERAMICS - Artist: Wilhelm Kåge
Wilhelm Kåge
Wilhelm Kåge was born in 1889 and died in 1960 in Stockholm. He was a Swedish painter and ceramist. He was the artistic director of Gustavsberg from 1917 until he was succeeded by Stig Lindberg in 1948. His first artistic success was the Argenta series that included everything from ashtrays to 60 kg urns. The most well known Argenta decor is green glaze with silver decorations. Undeniably, he did his best work with the very exclusive and unique Farsta stoneware. Farsta stoneware was produced from 1930 until Kage’s death in 1960, and was refined and improved during these 30 years.
