'During the 1940s when St Ives was becoming the most vibrant centre of artistic creativity in Britain Sven Berlin was one of its leading characters. His wholehearted and dynamic approach to art and life coupled with a remarkable talent resulted in early success both as sculptor and draughtsman and established him as a central figure in the artistic life of St Ives' (see exhibition catalogue, Sven Berlin, London, Belgrave Gallery, 1989, p. 3).

The Tate Gallery, Victoria & Albert Museum, British Museum and the National Library of Scotland are among the public collections holding work by Sven Berlin.
