I guess time has caught up with Swedish expressionist artist and sculptor Siri Derkert.
In my youth I used to think of her blasted concrete subway artworks as dull and self-important. (Then again, I couldn't be bothered to care about any contemporary art.)
Now, what I see is instead grace and materiality and Siri's timeless thoughts of peace and women are gaining a renewed sense of urgency in this day and age.
Here is Derkert's Study for Female Pillar, part of the collection at Moderna museet.
