In January 1998, a bronze sculpture was installed by the German painter Günther Förg in front of Boggalleriet in Rønde. It was erected on private initiative, but in the public space, and thus was Rønde one of the few places in Denmark where the cityscape can see a sculpture of a foreign artist. The layout of Günther Förgs stele was the first step in the project Open Water, working with an art and urban project in Rønde center. In the book Lars Morell interprets the stele by putting it in the context of the specific environments in Rønde. Likewise, he compares the sculpture to seven steles at Louisiana set with nature as background.The book ends with a conversation between Günther Förg and Lars Morell. Here Günther Förg tells why he, who is a painter, makes sculptures. The book has a loose dust jacket by Günther Förg printed as an original lithograph by Hostrup-Pedersen & Johansen.
