Arve Tellefsen

I remember some years ago I played with the idea of writing a book about statues in Trondheim. I had read a book of statues somewhere else, don't remember where, and said to myself: Why not Trondheim? We might be small, we might  be humble, but why? There is so much to show, so much to be proud of.....

 

The statue of Arve Tellefsen, the violinist, is the newest we have in town, ony a few months old. Walking past, I can hear his violin creating art.

The statue of Arve Tellefsen is wonderful. No wonder you wanted toshare. Please tell us about the artist who created it.

I love the idea of art for the public, gardens, umbrellas and tables on the sidewalk at cafes, hanging baskets of flowers...I live in a far smaller town than Trondheim and we have quite a few statues. I don't love them all, but I am happy we have them. We need cafes to spill out onto sidewalks, in season. Our sidewalks are too narrow.
