[LM_NET] Target: Looking for information on a landmark in Stockholm, Sweden

[Ann Marie Gordon <agordon@LIVONIACSD.ORG>]

Hi, folks.

I'm looking for information on the construction and/or history of the
glass obelisk which stands in Sergels Torg in Stockholm.  The pillar's
name is the "Kristall-vertikal accent" made in 1974 by Edvin Ohrstrom. 
Does anyone have any information that isn't from wikipedia?  I've
searched the web, but keep finding endless variations of the same
wikipedia article over and over and over...(Which I definitely can't
refer a student to, because it mentions that Stockholm residents use
"naughty words" to describe its general appearance.  Just what I want my
third graders to know...)

 A web link would be great, as this is for a webquest, but any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks,
