There is no fee to visit the sculpture garden which can be accessed at any time.
This work is presumably one of dozens of pieces by Icelandic artist Ásmundur Sveinsson for whom the adjacent Museum is named. Unfortunately, there is no plaque accompanying this sculpture...but it definitely has many similarities to Sveinsson's other works on display.... most notably, works that straddle the line between figurative and abstract.
This stone or polymer piece seems to fall more into the abstract category even though a human face is discernible on one section. Another section appears to be a leg..but all the sections are disjointed and contorted. When I fist saw this I thought I was seeing a polar bear on an iceberg.
Title: unknown
Artist: probably Ásmundur Sveinsson
Media (materials) used: appears to be stone..but could be painted cement or polymer
Location (specific park, transit center, library, etc.): on the grounds of the Ásmundur Sveinsson Sculpture Museum.
Date of creation or placement: unknown
