Efterår/The Fall, Videbæk - Denmark - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

Skulpturen forestiller en kvinde med en dreng. Kvinden har en kurv med frugt ved sine fødder.

I 1927 bestilte Københavns Kommune de fire figurgrupper ”Forår” ”Sommer”, ”Efterår” og ”Vinter”. Skulpturerne blev fremstillet i Fransk kalksten og blev i 1930 opstillet ved Søpavillonen (ved søerne i København). Her stod de indtil 1994. Herefter havnede ”De fire årstider” på Københavns Kommunes depotplads på Amager, fordi de var stærkt medtagne af luftforurening. Med hjælp fra Jens Lunds datter Hanne Lund lykkedes det for Videbæk Borgerforening at få de fire skulpturer overdraget til opstilling i Videbæk. Videbæk Tømmerhandel A/S transporterede kunstværkerne til Vestjylland i 1994, hvor de på Kommunens materielgård blev klargjort til opstilling. De fire årstider blev opstillet i Videbæk Lystanlæg i vinteren 1995/96 og indviet i juni 1996.

The sculpture is depicting a woman and a boy. The woman has a basket with fruit at her feet.

In 1927 the four sculptures were ordered by Copenhagen Municipality. The sculptures were made of French limestone and were erected in 1930 at the lake pavilion in Copenhagen. They were on permanent standing here until 1994. At that time they were removed to a depot because they were so damaged by air pollution. With help from Jens Lund's daughter Hanne Lund, Videbæk Citizen Association succeded in getting the sculptures to erection in Videbæk, the native town of Jens Lund. The sculptures were transported in 1994 by Videbæk Timber Yard and made ready for erection. The four sculptures were erected in the park in 1995/96 and and an opening took place in the midsummer 1996.
