Charlotte Gyllenhammar's latest body, the large bronze sculpture Osagd, which is part of Princess Estelle Sculpture Park on Djurgården and which has been placed among very majestic beech trees not far from Rosendahl's popular garden restaurant, has been inaugurated. It is, of course, a peculiarly strange body, several meters high and downright clumsy in its appearance. Overgrown as well.(...)
I like that the Djurgården area will become a sculpture park.
Together with the enchantingly dizzying sculpture by the American Alice Aycock from 2020, Gyllenhammar's mute bronze giant makes Stockholm a richer experience. Difficult to find perhaps, but no less difficult to forget once it has made itself known.

"Kungahuset", TV4's annual documentary about the Royal Family hosted by Anders Pihlblad, will be shown at TV4 this evening. At the program:

Pihlblad talks with Victoria and Daniel at the inauguration of Charlotte Gyllenhammar's sculpture "Untold". Victoria looks forward to coming there with the children, experiencing art together with children gives completely different perspectives and questions. There is a great artistic streak in Victoria's family, Pihlblad asks if she has inherited this streak? Victoria firmly claims she hasn't. But Daniel has seen her creative side and thinks she has artistic talent, he says both Victoria and Estelle have a sense of form and color that he is impressed by, even if he is a bit biased. Victoria jokes: Thank you, at least I have a fan. How nice. But it's true, it runs in the family. Daniel says: Now she confirms, it's true, she said! But Victoria says she was thinking further back in the family, and pokes Daniel affectionately with a finger.

Now in the winter, Anders Pihlblad visits Charlotte Gyllenhammar's sculpture "Untold" with the Crown Princess family, and Rio is with them, of course.
Estelle analyzes the great work of art in front of them, she says that it has something spiritual about it. She really likes it, with the beech forest, the trees around, it gets a bit of a cool aura. The bronze blends nicely with the surrounding trees. Estelle thinks it is there to be interpreted, you should come there to see what you think of it and see it yourself. It is very lovely. A little scary, but lovely nonetheless.

"The Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation presents 'The Inner Flow of Life', a unique site-specific commission by Giuseppe Penone.
The sculpture is made from granite and bronze, 10 metres tall and weighing over 60 tonnes. From the winding veins of the stone, a tree springs forth with its roots towards the sky. New life flourishes in its bowl-shaped root system and the sculpture is surrounded by rough natural boulders that have been brought from different places on Djurgården. The work can be interpreted as a symbol for the force we carry within ourselves and the life that flows throughout the universe."

Sara's solid reputation, knowledge and network of contacts and Prince Daniel's interest in contemporary art are a genius combination. Together, they orchestrate the capital's geographically largest public and ambitious art investment at the beautiful Royal Djurgården in Stockholm.
20. The Josefsson family, collectors and patrons
The Josefssons are a couple of the most important patrons of contemporary art of our time. In addition to collecting, they actively work for a better art and cultural climate.

The sculpture has been donated by Birgitta and Conni Jonsson.

Daniel said at his speech among other things:
"... Dear friends and family, and dearest Estelle"
"More than 200 years ago, the idea to make Rosendal a place for art was born. It was King Karl XIV Johan, the first of the Bernadotte dynasty, who wanted to create a space to delight and inspire the people of Stockholm.
Gates and fences were removed, making Djurgården and Rosendal accessible to everyone. This tradition has continued through the years. Today, it is King Carl XVI Gustaf who, through his interest, and through us and the Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation, continues the tradition of promoting art, now through site-specific sculptures by world-leading artists."

On 30 May, we open for art orientation in the Museum Park and Princess Estelle’s Sculpture Park where the orientation checkpoints are sculptures and artistic objects. With a map in hand, you search for answers about eight sculptures and objects. Everyone in the family can join, and the walk takes about 15–20 minutes, ending at the National Sports Museum. Diplomas will be distributed at the end, with a focus on the joy of movement and exploration.

Nature Walk in the Sculpture Park

Anders Pihlblad, the host of "Kungahuset", TV4's annual program of the royal family, interviewed Daniel at the inauguration of Giuseppe Penone's sculpture. The interview was shown yesterday morning at TV4 News morning.
Daniel thinks Penone's sculpture is magnificent. It's difficult to know what the people think of it, but it can create discussions. And that's the purpose of art, that people gather together and reflect things. Daniel and Victoria saw ten years ago a lot of exciting art in the form of sculptures, both in Sweden and abroad, and felt that this would be something for Djurgården. Soon he was contacted by a gallery in Stockholm that wanted to do temporary exhibitions at Djurgården, so for three years it was a temporary exhibition. But when autumn came and it was to be removed, they felt that it is sad. Why shouldn't they have something permanent instead? Anders asks Daniel if their children are involved and Daniel tells that when a decision about a sculpture is made, they show the skectches to Estelle. Estelle is interested, she is a creative person, it is exciting for her. Daniel hopes that the park will continue to grow for many years to come. He tells also that there are plans to develop the Rosendal area and old paths which have grown up and not in use now, can be opened.

Sara Sandström, the executive director of The Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation, has been interviewed by Västerbottens-Kuriren. Parts of the interview, large parts of it tell about Sara's career before the Foundation:

The seed for the Foundation was perhaps already sown in 2005, when Galleri Andersson/Sandström started the Market Art Fair in Stockholm. Daniel visited the Fair and they talked about art and about the gallery's activities in Umeå. Daniel has a genuine interest in art, it's one of his three interests, next to work for children and young people's health in Generation Pep and young entrepreneurship in Prince Daniel's Fellowship. Victoria and Daniel visited Sara and Stefan Andersson at the Umeå gallery in 2014. They returned in the summer to see the sculpture park. An interest in creating something similar in Stockholm was expressed. Could you imagine a collaboration at the Royal Djurgården? Send a letter, urged Daniel, and we'll see. This was done and the Court called Sara and Andersson for a meeting which resulted in a collaboration for three years. The Gallery and Royal Djurgården Administration presented three exhibitions in the Rosendal area. That aroused enthusiasm for continued collaboration.
In 2019 it was difficult to arrange a larger exhibition because of a construction, but the idea was too good to let go, thought the court and Daniel, who called Sara and Andersson to a new meeting and presented the idea of a new, Princess Estelle Cultural Foundation. Continuing the private collaboration was impossible for the court. The offer to start the Foundation's work was presented to Sara, with the demand to leave the gallery. Being able to participate and create something from scratch was an incredible opportunity to continue working with what Sara enjoys.
The Foundation started from scratch with steady funding with the private donations. The first exhibition was one of the few events that benefited from the pandemic's restrictions. Alice Aycock's six works were exhibited in 2020, one of which was purchased for the park and laid a foundation for the growing sculpture park they have the ambition to build. The focus in the selection of artists is to find the most interesting, not the biggest names. An artistic council helps Sara and the board approves the purchases.
Accessibility and openness are the 65-hectare park's main assets, with 15 million visits a year. It is already a beloved place. For some the sculptures are a surprising bonus but when you place works outdoors to create a new significant cultural destination in the long term, materials and selection must not disturb the environment or the residents.

Från Dorotea till Kungahuset: "Det senaste året har varit maxat"

Sara Sandström är Dorotea-dottern som efter en framgångsrik karriär som gallerist i dag arbetar direkt under Kungahuset. Men drivet är detsamma; att låta konsten rita om linjerna i världen lite.
