Stefan Alenius, curator at the Skissernas Museum in Lund, writes about the relationship between sculpture and architecture in Sivert Lindblom's work, for the catalogue of the exhibition at the Skissernas Museum, 1993.

The Skissernas Museum — with its unique collection of sketches and studies for public art — is a natural place to study Sivert Lindblom's work. Here the process is documented: from the first touch in clay or plaster to the finished monument in bronze or stone.

Lindblom's sculptures rarely consist of simple volumes. They contain a programme — an idea about how the body relates to place, how the human scale interacts with urban space. From the early profiles of the 1960s to the large horses at Blasieholmstorg there is a consistent thinking about body, space and presence.
