Torso

Skulpturen er udført af prins Henrik.

Den er en gave fra Strib By, hvor der er opstillet en tilsvarende figur.

Torsoen var i 2009 en del af den første Sculpture by the Sea-udstilling i Aarhus. Her var skulpturen opstillet ved Hotel Marselis.

Prins Henrik begyndte at lave skulpturer nogle år efter regentparrets bryllup i 1967, og han skabte gennem tiden både små og store skulpturer, hvoraf flere er blevet udstillet.

Torsoen er oprindeligt modelleret i en maskulin og en feminin udgave. Begge versioner er siden fremstillet i mange forskellige materialer som marmor, bronze, chamotte (små korn af brændt ler) og sølv.

The sculpture was created by Prince Henrik.

It is a gift from the town of Strib, where a similar figure is also installed.

Torso was part of the first Sculpture by the Sea exhibition in Aarhus in 2009, where it was displayed near Hotel Marselis.

Prince Henrik began sculpting a few years after his marriage to Queen Margrethe in 1967, and over the years he created both small and large sculptures, many of which have been exhibited.

Torso was originally modelled in both a masculine and a feminine version. Both versions have since been produced in a variety of materials, including marble, bronze, chamotte (small grains of fired clay), and silver.
