A large group of the distinctive ceramics created by Copenhagen-born artist and ceramicist Axel Saalto (1889-1961) will feature in Piasa’s sale devoted to Scandinavian design on February 15. One of the largest will be this 21in (53cm) high, organic-looking glazed stoneware sculpture left, in what is termed Salto’s ‘germinating’ style, a 1968 version of a model created in 1956 for Royal Copenhagen. Titled The innate force things (The Core of Power), it is estimated at €40,000-60,000.
