Muut tiedot

Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz was working with Skogskyrkogården, Sweden's architecturally most important cemetery, opened in 1920, as an almost lifelong project during the years 1915-1940. Several artists were involved in the decoration, among others Ivar Johnsson, Bror Hjorth and Anna Petrus. Reportedly circa 18 reservoirs was executed. Two sculptural objects to Asplund's reservoirs were designed by Anna Petrus, a free sculpture and a wall ornament. For Architect Asplund chose reservoirs from Näfveqvarn's regular assortment, including the reservoir which is designed by Harald Wadsjö. Skogskykogården's monumentality, however, created a need for a reservoir of a more generous size.
