Västertorp Sculpture Park (Västertorps skulpturpark) is a collection of 21 outdoor sculptures. The park is recognized for the many sculptures decorating the area. Most of the sculptures were erected during the 1950s and are made by Swedish sculptors. Art represented includes work by sculptors Stig Blomberg (1901-1970), Eric Grate (1896-1983) and Ivar Johnsson (1885-1970). [5][6][7]
The sculptures were placed on the initiative of Fritz Herman Eriksson (1889-1970), director of land developer Olsson & Rosenlunds AB.[8][9]
