Anders Åberg

Per Anders Åberg (Sweden, 1945 – 2018) was a Swedish sculptor, painter and cartoonist best known for his wooden models of all kinds of buildings. He matters for the way he combined several disciplines and for his link to public art in his country.

In the early 1970s he was commissioned to decorate the Solna centrum metro station in Stockholm, one of the works that brought him attention beyond specialist circles. His work as a sculptor and model maker allowed him to explore the relationship between three-dimensional form and built space.

In 1980 he founded the Mannaminne museum, an outdoor art museum in Nordingrå, Sweden. With this project he placed his work in an open natural setting accessible to the public, and his legacy remains in that space and in the works he left in urban settings.
