Arne Jones (1914-76): A few years ago I was living close to Västertorp sculpture park and saw his "Cathedral" sculpture regulary. A stunning piece. Considered a man of 1947 (1947 Års Män) Arne Jones and the others (such as Olle Bonnier, Pierre Olofsson and Lennart Rodhe) played a significant role in the breakthrough of concretism in Sweden. The "Blossom" wall sculpture for sale on
www.pafemtevaningen.com is in deed not monumental but utterly decorative. Notable also is that "Blossom" sculptures only rarely are signed and numbered.
Elis Nordh (1918-1984): As I bought this piece a couple of years ago at a car boot sale the seller said "I believe it's art". At the time not familiar with the artist, well so did I. Elis Nordh is another an artist who made a large series of monumental public sculptures. A delicate example is the 1962 "Trollrunan" bronze in Norrköping. We've not yet decided wether this sculpture is to keep or to be posted on the website.
Sven Lundqvist (1918-2010): The first Sven Lundqvist I experienced was a close friend's ceramic model for "Lyckan" (Happiness) outside the city hospital in Eskilstuna. Here in Stockholm his sculptures are numeral and I associate this bronze (probably a print worker) with his quite common "Tidningsläsaren" (Paper reader) for some reason. Most likely founded at Herman Bergmans, Stockholm. Will be posted on the website soon.
