Sculptures by Eino

In one of the vaults of Stockholm Stadium you can see the busts of the Olympic champions Anders Gärderud, Mälarhöjden and Ludmila Engquist, IFK Lidingö. They were made for DN Galan 2000 and 2001 by the artist Eino, born in Finland and now living in the US. DN Galan then donated the busts to Stockholm Olympic Stadium. As of today there are 14 pedestals in the vault, prepared by Stadium's architect Torben Grut for sculptures. His plans were not fulfilled then, in 1912, but maybe some day the Stadium will be complete…
