First Perch of Peace
The pistol is a bronze sculpture by Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd of an over-sized pistol with a knotted barrel and the muzzle pointing upwards. There are currently 16 sculptures all around the world. The three original sculptures are placed in Malmö, Sweden, outside the headquarters of the United Nations in New York, USA, and in Luxembourg. It is also placed in Berlin, Germany, on Sergelgatan in Stockholm, Sweden, in Gothenburg, Sweden, outside the Mémorial de Caenin Caen, France. Located in The Museum of Sketches in Lund, Sweden, is a sketch of the firearm where Reuterswärd has written that the grieving after John Lennon and Bob Crane were murdered inspired him to design this artwork.
