Dan Andersson's statue stands on Göteborg's Järntorget. The statue was crafted by artist Britt-Marie Jern and was unveiled by Göran Johansson on November 18, 1990. The statue was funded through a collection by Arbetarnas bildningsförbund with contributions from Charles Felix Lindbergs donations fund.
Dan Andersson shares a connection with Järntorget - he worked at the newspaper Ny Tid under the alias 'Black Jim' for two years and was often seen at the tavern Tullen. The granite pedestal bears the following inscription: 'Bed för dem som staden kväver att de länge må bli unga och om troll och högland drömma uppå Tullens svarta krog'.
