Sculpture ‘Tennisspelare’ (tennis player) by Vicke Lindstrand
Sweden, 1950s
Birch.This sculpture captures the figure of a tennis player in motion, with fluid lines and an elongated form that stretches upward in a graceful arc. The figureis posed in a moment of anticipation before a serve. The simplicity of the material—natural birch wood—highlights Lindstrand's ability to transform humble materials into powerful artistic expressions. The polished surface of the birch gives the sculpture a lightness, contrasting the solidity of its abstracted form.
