Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art

I love this museum on Oslo’s Aker Brygge waterfront. This sculpture is attached to the side of the museum wall and I’ve taken this photograph standing underneath looking up. It's entitled 'Edge II' and it's by British artist, Antony Gormley. The structure you see in the top right is the Sneak Peak, a tower which affords a view of the Fjord. It opens today after being closed for winter, so we’re hoping to get up there later and see what there is to be seen! We also plan visiting some of the islands and Ekebergparken Sculpture park.
very cool, really like this

WOW! If you hadn't explained I would not have guessed! Impressive!

This is stunning! Fabulous artwork! Reminds me a little of Anthony Gormly’s iron men. Fav!

Very dramatic, I love it. The sides almost seem like the deck of a ship too.

Wow. If I were scanning photos in a gallery, the appeal of this one would call to me from across the room. I wonder what one could do at night. Perhaps HDR because of the 2 down facing lights, then replace the sky of that image with a long exposure of the sky?

Fascinating :)

Very interesting. I wonder if this is the same artist that has the body sculptures all over Dallas. What do you think @louannwarren ?. The bodies look the same.

Very cool perspective. The view must be amazing from the tower

Nifty!

Gorgeous shot! Did you have a nice day with your daughter?

A great shot. It must have been a weird feeling standing underneath that sculpture.
May 5th, 2018  
The POV is perfect.

@henrir oh! I absolutely do think it’s the same sculptor!
May 5th, 2018  
Fascinating shot - what a neat perspective to take that shot.

@henrir Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find out who the sculptor was. I'll keep trying! @louannwarren

@gijsje We had a fab day Bep. Another one to come. I don't go home until this afternoon.

@henrir @louannwarren Just found it ... it is Antony Gormley, British artist.
May 6th, 2018  
Fav - great shot and the sculpture is recognisable as Gormley’s.

@jamibann @henrir The nude figures on Craig Hall’s building are by Icelandic sculptor Steinunn Thorarinsdottir. They do bear a striking resemblance to this sculptor!

Attracts the eye

Wow! Awesome photo and I'm sure the entire scene was quite impressive to see in person!
I had to smile reading your comments going back and forth with Henri and Lou Ann, my fellow Texans. :-)
