Muut tiedot
During the 1950s, Öhrström developed a method for casting glass in large modeled iron moulds. All sculptures except a few were executed at Lindshammar glassworks.
The first cast glass sculpture was a "Bull's Head" in clear glass that attracted a lot of attention when it was first shown in 1953. Öhrström used clear glass but also experimented with different colours, sometimes synthetic colours that had a greater opportunity to capture the light. This sculpture in blue-turquoise glass signed in 1953, should be one of the first coloured pieces of "Bull's Head".
In 1964, Edvin Öhrström won the prize competition for the decoration of Sergels torg with the pillar 'Crystal - vertical accent in glass and steel'. It was inaugurated in 1974, but only after the renovation in 2015-2017 did the obelisk finally get a new LED lighting where the colour of the light can be varied according to Öhrström's original idea.
