GerARTworks Gerhard König sculptor

I have been working as a project manager restoring the sculptures and buildings made by the Icelandic artist Samúel Jónsson (1884-1969) located in Arnarfjörður, West Iceland.

When he passed away his artwork fell into obscurity and faced destruction due to harsh climatic conditions in the Westfjords. For additional informations please visit:
