Notes
Preparatory study for site-specific sculpture at Israels Plads in Copenhagen 1967 (not realized).
Aase Seidler Gernes has noted the following: “It was a model for Grønttorvet, Israels Plads. The steps were probably as high as on the pyramids in Mexico. People could climb – sit and rest – enjoy the view. I believe that the writer Hans Jørgen Nielsen was part of the project: that he gave a written explanation of its use."
In 2016, the construction was downscaled and specified by sculptor Anders Krüger, and built for the exhibition I Cannot Do It Alone - Want to Join in? at Louisiana.
In 2018 a similar Pyramid was installed permanently in the sculpture park Wanås Konst in Sweden.
