Per Sax Moeller

The Danish silversmith Per Sax Møller was trained in the Danish silver tradition with Jeweller to the Royal Danish Court, A. Michelsen, from 1968-1972. The workshop specialized in modern silver, which during the 1900’s was designed by Danish known architects such as Thorvald Bindesbøll, Kay Fisker, Erik Herlow, Tove and Edvard Kint-Larsen.

After completing his apprenticeship, he worked at Preben Salomonsen’s workshop in Copenhagen, mainly creating silver pieces for stores such as Tiffany, Bloomingdale’s and Aspery. Later Per Sax Møller was stationed at the Louisiana Moderne Museum of art, outside Copenhagen. He spent more than a year here, surrounded by the works of Henry Moore, Arp, Calder, Laurent and Danish artists such as Astrid Noack, Ejler Bille, Sonja Ferlov Mancoba, Villy Ørskov and many more, which left a deep and profound mark.

In 1976, Per Sax Møller established himself in a workshop alongside the known Danish goldsmith Jorgen Bindesboll in Copenhagen. Over the next couple of years, he also joined the association “Danish Silversmiths” and their exhibitions throughout Scandinavia. Today his sculptures are presented at Gallery Secher Fine Art & Design in the heart of Copenhagen.

Per Sax Møller has received Danish State Arts Foundation grant in 1979, 1997, 2000 and 2002. His works are represented at Oslo Museum of Art and Design, Danish Museum of Art and Design, at the Museum Koldinghus. His sculptures are in important private Collections in Europe, USA and Canada.
