Till Raoul Wallenberg

Till Raoul Wallenberg, Memorial sculpture on Raoul Wallenbergs torg, Stockholm, Sweden

Till Raoul Wallenberg is a memorial on Raoul Wallenbergs torg consisting of twelve low, formless bronze sculptures grouped together and oriented downward toward the gently sloping stone-paved square facing Nybroviken. The bronze casting of Wallenberg's signature is set into the ground. The sculptures were cast in Pietrasanta, Tuscany, and inaugurated in August 2001.

Stockholm's art council was tasked in 1997 with creating a Raoul Wallenberg memorial on the square, funded by the city and state. A jury led by Per Wästberg chose Kirsten Ortwed's proposal of twelve low bronze sculptures from six invited entries in 1998. The bronzes were cast in Pietrasanta, Tuscany, and the memorial was inaugurated in August 2001, drawing mixed reactions for its abstract, low-key form.

The twelve low bronze sculptures have no clear form and are oriented down the gently sloping stone paving toward Nybroviken, with Wallenberg's signature cast in bronze in the ground. The work drew mixed reactions and was criticised as too abstract and disrespectful. Since June 2006 the group has been complemented at the square's edge by Vägen, a straight line of cobblestones and rails from the Budapest ghetto.

The memorial stands on Raoul Wallenbergs torg, the square by Nybroviken, with the John Ericsson monument of 1901 as its neighbour. The twelve bronze sculptures lie low on the gently sloping stone paving, so watch your step. A straight line of cobblestones and rails from the Budapest ghetto, added in 2006, links the square to the Holocaust memorial at the Great Synagogue.

The arrangement of metal blocks follows deliberate spatial design that guides visitors through changing positions and perspectives as they walk. This physical movement through the work becomes part of the commemoration itself.
