Nr. 35: Tre gamle kvinner

Nr. 35: Tre gamle kvinner is a statue by Gustav Vigeland, located in Oslo, Norway. Its title translates as “Three Old Women” in English.

Vigeland used the human body to explore life, ageing, mortality, love, and spirituality across his sculpture. This work belongs to a wider collection spread through Oslo. Many related works stand within the Vigeland sculpture park, where bronze, granite, and wrought iron shape a public artistic landscape. Groups of figures connect the sculptures with different aspects of life.

Nr. 35 places older figures within that human story. Vigeland treated ageing as a subject with form, emotion, dignity, and complexity rather than limiting his art to youth. His sculptures present a visual narrative about shared human experience. The statue therefore joins a Norwegian artistic legacy centred on the body and the passage of time. Open public settings give this work a place in Oslo’s cultural landscape.
