During a two week visit to the Faroe Islands, Kirkeby divided his time between half and whole days in the mountains, where observations were recorded on the sketchpad or were inscribed directly onto copper plates, and at The Graphic Workshop where the impressions were utilized in entire series of graphic sheets. The impressive result came to 77 graphic sheets, covering such diverse techniques as copperplate engraving, lithograph, woodcut, and monotype. All the graphic works are reproduced in the present book.

This is the first monograph on the Stone House, conceptualised by Per Kirkeby and erected in 1996 in Jutland, Denmark; a fascinating brick building of sparse elegance, accommodating the geological collection of the university Skærum Mølle. Presented is the genesis of the exhibition hall from the first sketches to the erection complemented by the auditorium, the observatory and the study hall. The author gives many references to sacral architecture and modern classics, such as Peter Behrens. Furthermore he reveals Kirkeby’s surprising sources of inspiration: for example the staircase in Rembrandt’s painting The Meditating Philosopher.
