Alex Brogden’s Sphere and Bowl reflect his sustained exploration of abstract silver forms, embodying his hallmark balance of fluid line, strong form, and exquisitely refined surfaces. Their smooth, highly reflective finish captures shifting light and shadow, echoing Brogden’s fascination with the dialogue between movement and stillness, the organic and the geometric. Over a career spanning more than four decades, he has established an international reputation, creating both commissioned and sculptural works that are now represented in major collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Goldsmiths’ Company, and the Silver Trust at 10 Downing Street. His achievements also include designing the winner’s trophy for the prestigious Loewe Craft Prize on multiple occasions, further underlining his place as one of Britain’s leading contemporary silversmiths.
