From the very beginning of his artistic career, Carl Milles attracted widespread international attention. Prestigious magazines and journals around the world published richly illustrated features on both Milles and Millesgården, while numerous books began appearing as early as the 1910s. Today, Milles’s sculptures continue to resonate with audiences across the globe. Iconic works such as Europa and the Bull, Angel Musicians, The Hand of God, and Man and Pegasus are proudly displayed in a variety of locations.



A significant posthumous milestone came in 1995 with God Our Father on the Rainbow installed by Carl Milles’s former student, Marshall Fredericks. Commissioned to bring Milles’s grand vision to life, Fredericks executed the towering 20-metre sculpture, designed to send a cascade of water from the top of its arch into the harbour below. Today, this work stands at Nacka Strand, marking the gateway to Stockholm.



In 2020, Carl Milles’s legacy reached even further across the globe when a replica of The Hand of God was acquired by China Medical University in Taiwan. The sculpture now stands beside a university building designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry.



Carl Milles is represented in numerous international collections, including:

Tate Britain, London; Glyptoteket, Copenhagen; Musée d'Orsay, Paris; Cranbrook Art Museum, Michigan; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Brooklyn Museum, New York; Brookgreen Gardens, South Carolina; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Hakone Open-Air Museum, Japan and the National Museum, Stockholm.
