About the artworkBehind Moderna Museet is a labyrinthine roofless brick building. Enter and
experience it from inside! This is a sculpture by the Danish artist Per Kirkeby.
Kirkeby’s paintings and bronze sculptures are wild and expressive, but his
brick works are terse and architectonic,
somewhere in between buildings and
sculptures. Asked what the title of his
work on Skeppsholmen was, he answered
evasively that he doesn’t usually give
titles to his works, but added that “The
Holy Pump House” might be a suitable
name.
