context_page_description: Gerður Helgadóttir was an Icelandic sculptor and stained glass artist.
  She studied at the Art and Craft School of Iceland, in Denmark, at the Accademia di Belle Arti Firenze and at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, Paris. Perhaps her most noted work was her stained glass in Skálholt Cathedral and the church in Kópavogur.
context_section_description: In the 1960s, Gerður produced geometric ironworks which earned her notoriety as a pioneer of three-dimensional abstract artworks in Iceland. Gerður was renowned for her glass works, which decorate six churches in Iceland alone.
  In 1973, she created a large mosaic at the Tollhús in Hafnarstræti in Reykjavík which was one of the largest artworks to have been produced in Iceland up until that point.
