Gudmar Olovson
Gudmar Olovson (Swedish, 1936 - 2017), was a energetic sculptor whose works sit in public and private collections across Europe. Part of the artistic circle in Paris for most of his life, his works have the benefit of being produced by one of the best founders in history. Today his estate is overseen to ensures strict casting controls of the remaining sculptures that can be cast in their limited editions, complying with French Law and continued use of the foundries Olovson respected. Each work is issued with a certificate and full edition listing.
Available Works
The estate maintains a healthy collection of casts found in Olovson’s studios of which he had two in Paris, after his death. Some are being kept as part of the family colletion but some are available for sale.
Olovson was meticulous in the recording of his casts and only used a few of the top foundries in Paris and these records are keep safely in the estate archive. This has meant the Estate is able to legitmately under French Law complete editions started in his life-time and so a few pieces are being cast each year, partly to promote Gudmar’s life but also to fund the storage and maintenance of the estate. These works may also be cast to order but can only be cast by the foundries that were used during the artist’s lifetime.
Above is a selection of casts which are either available, currently being cast or could be cast to your order. To send an enquiry or to discuss a work click here.
WATCH
The Olovson Estate at Treasure House Fair 2025 with Two Trees. The work was included in The Sculpture Walk after a selection process by the museum curator and was met with great excitement in the UK art market. ‘Two Trees’, emblematic of enduring love, now resides in a top UK private collection.
The joy of sculpture is that it works in many scales, carefully selected by the artist to work best with each piece. Watch here the ‘Two Trees’ in a different scale in a 360 presentation.
