Peter Mandl
Swedish artist (born 1947)
Peter Mandl is a Swedish sculptor. He was born in 1947 in Prague in the then Czechoslovakia.
When the Soviet Union invaded Prague in 1968, Peter and his family fled to Sweden. Peter now resides with his wife Gunilla in Påarp in the outskirts of Halmstad. Together, they have two children: a son, Paul (born in 1975), and a daughter, Ingela (born in 1976). Today, Ingela handles the business side of Peter’s work, allowing him to focus fully on his creative process.
Much of Peter's art is on general viewing around Sweden. His beautiful women crafted in bronze and glass shapes that are reminiscent of the sea and wind can be seen in many galleries.
At the end of the 70's Peter worked exclusively with bronze but returned to glass at the beginning of the 90's. Today he works both with glass and bronze.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Peter Mandl” as swedish artist (born 1947). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as swedish artist (born 1947). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5974628. VIAF identifies the subject as 38607071. The Library of Congress control number is n94069521. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1947, 1968, 1975 and 1976.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
