Knivsta 1965 – 1966
In 1965, for this brand new school, Folke was asked to make a mural for a 400 square metre corridor. In his own words, “It is great fun and I have a marvellous idea. I bought an old Swedish encylopaedia, and with this as a basis, I made paintings with the themes derived from it. From A – Z, the whole lexicon, each letter had a wall. The children really liked the drawings and even many years later I never saw any damage”.
However, it is reported 20 years later, when a few cracks, scratches and marks appeared, the staff had no idea what to do other than paint it out. Both the artists daughters attended the school.
