Innovation in Glass

A retrospective exhibition of Eric Hoglund's works was held in Karlskrona from 8 October till 5 November 2000.

Erik Höglund is a unique Swedish artist carving in glass. At the art exhibition hall at Båtsmankasernen in Karlskrona, we were proud to show several pieces of art from his lifelong production. Not only had he revolutionised the art of Swedish glass, he also created a great number of public works of art in architecture. Furthermore, he successfully combined his glass work with iron, wood and paintings. Whatever material he used to create, he made a personal brilliant interpretation and stretched the material and his own creativity with astonishing result.

The exhibition shown in Karlskrona, where he was born 1932, is the last chance to see the collection before it is permanently moved to Färgfabriken in Stockholm.
