Episode 529 - THE SUN VOYAGER / SÓLFAR
Today on RÚV English Radio, the iconic sculpture at the heart of Iceland's capital. In 1986, the association of Reykjavík's west end funded a competition for a new outdoor sculpture to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the city. Jón Gunnar Árnason´s Sun Voyager, Sólfar, won. It was unveiled on Sæbraut on the birthday of the capital, August 18th, 1990. Þorbjörg Jónsdóttir, the artist's daughter, met Darren at the sculpture, on a windy Reykjavík day, to talk about the work, and her father.
