Beskrivning:

The sculpture Bronskvinnorna (The women of bronze) outside of the art museum (Konsthallen), Växjö. The sculpture is a work by Marianne Lindberg De Geer. Its display of one anorectic and one obese woman is a demonstration against modern society's obsession with how we look. The sculpture was acquired by the city of Växjö for 500,000 SEK and placed here in February 2006, during an exhibition at the art museum. Since then, the sculpture has been a source of controversy in town, particularly through letters to the editor of local newspaper Smålandsposten. Both statues have been vandalized and repaired during 2006. They are starting to become a tourist attraction, in part due to the conflict.
