Bio:
Boris Stojkov (1925–1982) was a ceramicist and sculptor, born in Pančevo near Belgrade. He came to Sweden around 1950 and in the early 1960s worked as an assistant to Bengt Berglund at Gustavsberg, where he created a series of fantasy animals in stoneware. After a short period at Rörstrand he worked from around 1970 with sculpture in wood, stone, horn and ceramic.
