Biography

Taube was born in Stockholm, Sweden to Per Herman Bergman and Mélen Tholff.[1] She learned sculpture from her father and from noted Swedish sculptor Carl Milles.[3]

In 1925, she married Evert Taube. Evert met her when she was nine years old.[1] Taube had four children with Evert Taube: Per Evert Arvid Joakim Taube (1926–2009), Rose Marie Astrid Elisabet Taube (1928–1928), Ellinor Gunnel Astri Elisabeth Taube (1930–1998), and Sven-Bertil Gunnar Evert Taube (1934 – 2022).

Works

Sculpture and fountain at Ulleråkers Hospital in Uppsala, 1946.

As a portrait sculptor, Taube had "virtuoso skill",[3] portraying children, clowns, and her husband Evert. One of her sculptures of Evert stands on the island of Riddarholmen.[4]

Taube created tin candlesticks, seal stamps, paperweights, cigarette boxes, and inkwells.[2]

Besides sculpting, Taube drew and created color lithographs.[3]

During her marriage, Taube concentrated on being a helper and muse to her husband, to the detriment of her artistic career. At age 78, she was able to return to being a full-time artist until her death at age 82.[3]

The Lisebergsapplåden award, presented annually by the Liseberg amusement park in Gothenburg to someone who has made Sweden a happier place, is a bronze sculpture of two clapping hands created by Taube in 1978.[5]

Sculptures

  • Flicka Med Fisk (bronze)[6]
  • Elsa Borg (bronze, 1972) Södermalm, Vitabergsparken, Stockholm.[7]
  • Fountain at Ulleråkers Hospital in Uppsala (1946)

Lithographs

  • Sjösalamotiv (5)[8]
  • Sjung Eko![9]

Exhibitions

Queen Silvia of Sweden opened an exhibition of Taube's works at the Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg, Sweden on 15 September 2006.[2] The exhibition was the result of a project to bring public attention to Taube's work, a project started by Brittmo Bernhardsson (the wife of the governor of Gothenburg) and supported by Taube's son Sven-Bertil.[3]
