"Why does one of the world’s largest Picasso sculptures just happen to be in Kristinehamn? Well, it all began on a dusty country road in France. In the late 1950s the artist Bengt Olson, a native of Kristinehamn, came across the Norwegian sculptor, painter and photographer Carl Nesjar, who had just begun experimenting with a new concrete-based material. At the time, Nesjar was involved in a project with Pablo Picasso, who was fascinated by the expression of art through the medium of concrete. They were working with a series of sculptures and painting called “les dames des Mougins” (The Ladies of Mougin), the theme of which was Picasso’s wife Jacqueline."
