Description
"Sun Voyager, Reykjavik, Black and White" by Catherine Sherman.
This Sun Voyager sculpture reaches skyward in Reykjavík, Iceland. On this day, only clouds and rain greeted visitors to this iconic artwork.
The Sun Voyager (Icelandic: Sólfar) is a sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason, located next to the Sæbraut road at the sea side. Sun Voyager is described as a dreamboat, or an ode to the sun. It was erected in 1990, a year after the artist's death.
Although many have thought that the sculpture looked like a Viking ship, the artist said he intended it to convey the promise of undiscovered territory, a dream of hope, progress and freedom.
The work is constructed of stainless steel and stands on a circle of granite slabs surrounded by so-called “town-hall concrete.”
