More information
Barbro Littmarck's works are characterized by gold in sculptural modernist shapes, often featuring stylized feather-like and plant-like formations with a tremendous drive in design. The metal is frequently accompanied by various powerful coloured stones in playful combinations, in line with the fashion of the 1960s and 70s. Littmarck is also known for her lifelike brooches in the shape of flower baskets. These also demonstrate her skill in using gold to create realistic braided baskets adorned with coloured stones, diamonds, pearls, and enamel as plants and flowers. Her works in silver are equally well-known.
