Arne Bang (1901–1983) was a Danish sculptor and ceramic artist, renowned for his elegant stoneware and distinctive contribution to Scandinavian modernist design. Born in Frederiksberg, Denmark, he studied sculpture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. In the late 1920s, he began exploring ceramics, developing a refined aesthetic characterized by simple, sculptural forms, balanced proportions, and subtle, richly textured glazes.
During the 1930s, Bang established his own ceramic workshop in connection with the Holmegaard Glassworks, where he produced a wide range of stoneware vases, bowls, and decorative objects. His work combined traditional craftsmanship with a modern sensitivity to form and material, often featuring muted earth tones, matte surfaces, and understated geometric detailing. Today, Arne Bang is celebrated as a significant figure in Danish ceramic design, with his pieces highly valued by collectors of Scandinavian modernism.
