Kistefos, Norwayª¡s preeminent home for contemporary sculp-ture since the late nineteen-nineties, offers globally-recog-nized artworks in a spectacular and atmospheric rural setting. The museumª¡s principal purpose is to preserve and develop what is today a technical and industrial monument of nation-al importance. This book is the museumª¡s first major publi-cation about its collection and not only documents works by artists such as Lynda Benglis, Tony Cragg, and Olafur Eliasson,among many others in the collection, but also marks the open-ing of a new building designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) architects. It offers extensive written and visual material on the beautiful and innovative ªtwisted bridgeªŒ exhibition space that will open to the public in the summer of 2019. The book provides a comprehensive understanding of Kistefosª¡s history, collection and architecture through essays that are accompa-nied by specially-commissioned images by renowned photog-rapher Hû?lû?ne Binet.
