Nr. 33: To gamle kvinner

Nr. 33: To gamle kvinner is a life-sized statue by Gustav Vigeland in Oslo’s Vigeland installation. Two elderly women stand together, their bodies and expressions bringing human connection into focus. The sculpture sits among wide paths, open lawns, trees, flower beds and ponds.

The Vigeland installation gathers more than 200 sculptures created by one artist. Developed over several decades, it reflects Vigeland’s interest in life, death, love, family and changing stages of human experience. Bronze, granite and wrought iron shape the wider setting, while this smaller work offers an intimate contrast to the 17-metre granite Monolith with its 121 human figures. Vigeland’s smooth surfaces and simplified forms keep attention on posture, gesture and the relationships between people.

You can walk around the figures and see their poses from different angles. The surrounding park brings art and nature together along a central axis, with the Wheel of Life and a Vigeland museum adding to the wider setting.
