The Knotted Gun

The Knotted Gun.non-violence, is a bronze sculpture by Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd from 1980, which depicts a revolver with a knot on the barrel. At the Museum of Sketches in Lund, there is a sketch for the revolver where Reuterswärd noted that it was the grief after the murder of John Lennon in 1980 that made him design the work.

 

The work is located in several places in the world, including outside the United Nations headquarters in New York, Berlin and Beijing.
