Boy looking at the Moon (Stockholm)

Sweden / Stockholm / Stockholm / Bollhustäppan
 sculpture, interesting place

Located on Bollhustäppan is, arguably, the smallest public sculpture in Sweden, named "Pojken som tittar på månen" ("Boy Looking at the Moon") or Järnpojken ("Iron Boy") but colloquially called "Olle". It is sculpted by Liss Eriksson (1919-2000) in 1954 and was inaugurated in 1967. Made of sandstone and wrought iron, its stylized form contrasts the warmth of its expression; its informal and restrained manners making it one of the most appreciated pieces of art in the city, fondled by crowds of tourists every year, as the shiny head shows, and given coins and goodies, while Stockholmers occasionally knits neckerchiefs and caps for the boy to wear during winters
