The bust of the couple Ingun Sveinsdóttir and Harald Böðvarsson at Vesturgatu 32 is by Gyda L. Jónsdóttir, who was born in 1943 and is the daughter of Lilja Pálsdóttir and Reverend Jón M. Guðjónsson. The work is made of fiber concrete and was installed in 1974. Gyða studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Reykjavík and, among other things, at St. John Cass Collage and Central School of Art in London. She also studied for a while at the Royal Academy of Arts in Copenhagen. Gyða has taken part in solo and group exhibitions in Iceland and group exhibitions abroad. She has worked together with other artists on small and large works with fired patterned tiles, mainly in connection with railway and underground stations and tunnels in Great Britain, e.g. at King's Cross, the Dover Underpass and at Elephant and Castle station, as she lived for many years in the UK.
