The sculptures of Keld Moselholm Jørgensen helped to enhance the programmes of the Monaco Sculpture Biennales between 1983 and 1989. In 1987, the artist was awarded the Florence J. Gould Foundation Prize. His work attracted the attention of Prince Rainier III, who was keen to acquire the award-winning bronze. For this piece, the artist selected his own daughter as his model. The work was installed in 1987, in the same spot where it can still be found today, opposite the children’s garden. The first version of this sculpture was installed in the city of Aabenraa in Denmark.
Keld Moseholm Jørgensen was born in Denmark in 1936. He completed his first years of artistic studies at the Funen Art Academy from 1958 to 1962, and joined the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen in 1965. Moseholm held his first sole exhibitions in 1988. A prolific artist, he quickly exhibited all over Europe. His work was awarded many international prizes in Australia and Europe, including a prize from the Florence J. Gould Foundation in Monaco. Moseholm is an active representative of the contemporary Danish school, which had led him to represent Denmark in nearly a hundred international exhibitions.
