The Study Collection

For Johannes Nielsen, these bronze studies function like sketches—an essential part of getting to know a sculpture before it fully takes shape. Each piece is a way of understanding form in its most immediate, physical presence: how it stands, how it balances, how it exists in space.

These sculptures also serve as a foundation for larger works. Through them, Nielsen tests ideas, refines proportions, and begins to see how a form might grow. They are the moments where intuition and material meet.
