A Tribute to the Worked Horse: Avselad kamp in Södermalm, Stockholm

In 1992, Marylyn Hamilton Gierow crafted Avselad kamp, a tribute to the worked horse, an animal that was common but was overtaken by other power sources with the development of technology. Located on Repslagargatan, Södermalm, Stockholm, this bronze sculpture serves as a reminder of the toil rendered by worked horses for centuries. Initially essential for over a thousand years, the advancements in technology have replaced them for many tasks. The inscription on Avselad kamp, 'The animal turns half towards a lost time, itself a living link between the present and the past', speaks to the artistry and dedication of the sculptor, as well as the history of worked horses.
