Kistefos Norway's preeminent home for contemporary sculpture since the late nineteen-nineties
offers globally-recognized artworks in a spectacular and atmospheric rural setting. The
museum's principal purpose is to preserve and develop what is today a technical and industrial
monument of national importance. This book is the museum's first major publication about its
collection and not only documents works by artists such as Olafur Eliasson Tony Cragg and
Lynda Benglis among many others in the collection but also marks the opening of a new
building designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) architects. It offers extensive written and
visual material on the beautiful and innovative twisted bridge exhibition space that will open
to the public in the summer of 2019. The book provides a comprehensive understanding of
Kistefos' history collection and architecture through essays that are accompanied by
specially-commissioned images by renowned photographer Hélène Binet.
