Nanna Johansen Ullman | 1888 - 1964
Vigga Nanna Johansen Ullman (2 May 1888 – 21 May 1964) was a Danish-born sculptor.
Nanna Ullman was the daughter of the artist Viggo Johansen. She came to Taserud when she was about 16 years old and already then she decided to become a cabinetmaker. She apprenticed to the Eriksson brothers in Taserud from 1903 to 1906 and passed the journeyman test in 1907. Some of the furniture she made can be seen at Nytomta in Taserud.
She studied sculpture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen from 1911 to 1915. In the 1920s she met the Swedish artist Sigfrid Ullman, whom she married in 1929. The couple moved to Gothenburg the same year, where Sigfrid Ullman was a teacher at Valand's painting school until 1938. In 1932 Ullman exhibited at Göteborgs konsthall together with her husband and in 1946 together with Ivan Jordell. She is represented at Nationalmuseum, Moderna museet in Stockholm, Nasjonalgalleriet in Oslo and at the Gothenburg Museum of Art.
