More information
Prélude, a woman’s hand holding a baby, is one of Gudmar Olovson’s most famous works. The baby nestles safely in the hand, which stretches its fingers up to the sky. In 1995, a version of this sculpture was shown at a major exhibition in the foyer of the head office of UNESCO in Paris for the UN organisation’s 50th anniversary.
This sculpture is also displayed in monumental format at Falsterbonäset Open Air Museum at Höllviken, outside the Medicover hospital in Warsaw and their premises in Bucharest, outside the Ferring head office in Lausanne and in the park of Château de Cheverny in the Loire Valley.
Prélude is a perfect interpretation of Gudmar Olovson’s own words: ”I want my works to be seen as love letters. To the beauty of nature and to life. To the miracle of being human. And to love, of course. That is what art is to me!”
