Pål Vigeland – When Metal Becomes Nature

Pål Vigeland – When Metal Becomes Nature

Pål Vigeland has worked as a metal artist for nearly fifty years. Everything he has ever made, from jewelry and plates to public commissions and sculptures, has always been characterized by precision and stringency. This book shows the continuities between Vigeland’s earliest years and the present while also offering many surprises about the changes that have taken place along the way. The book is designed with parallel columns of Norwegian and English text. The main bulk of the book is printed on recycled paper as a comment to Pål’s reuse of materials in his sculptures.
