Thyra Boldsen

Thyra Valborg Boldsen (1884–1968) was a Danish sculptor who created works in a naturalistic style using many different types of stone.[1] She was particularly successful in the United States after moving to California in 1931. Four of her works were installed in Los Angeles' Exposition Park in 1936.[2] In the 1920s, she lectured on art and wrote books on philosophical questions and lifestyle.[3] Her work was part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics.[4]
