Åke Holm was born in 1900, the very turn of the century. Fifteen years later he joined the Höganäs company, where he became assistant to Edgar Böckman. When the firm stopped producing art ceramics shortly after the mid-1920s, he set up his own workshop together with his brother. Over the following decade, his biblical figures began to take shape.
At Helsingborgs Auktionskammare we find the figures of Abraham and Jeremiah, Moses with the bronze serpent, Saul and David – but also the trolls, the women's faces and everything else Åke Holm is known for. The biblical theme is highly representative of his artistic work.
