Headline Large Mural by Swedish Artist to Decorate Penthouse of New Dag Hammarskjöld Library at UN Headquarters

Caption Description A large mural by the Swedish artist Bo Beskow will form the sole wall decoration in the penthouse on the top floor of the new Dag Hammarskjöld Library at United Nations Headquarters, to be dedicated on 16 November. Painted in oils, on canvas mounted on the concave wall at the west end of the penthouse lounge, the mural is an abstract composition, 26 feet wide by 14 feet high. The mural is the second work Mr. Beskow has done for the UN. In 1957, at the request of Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld, he painted the fresco in the Meditation Room on the main floor of the General Assembly building. In addition, a small abstract line-cut by him hangs in the living room in the Secretary-General's apartment on the 38th floor of the Secretariat building.

Here is a portrait of Mr. Beskow, taken as he posed in front of a section of the mural.
