Kivinen vieras / Stone Visitor

  • Service location

Located in the forecourt of the Finnish National Opera, the Stone Visitor is a magnificent eight-metre-tall sculpture. Its surface is covered with deep grooves and cuts, as if it had been carved with a huge broadaxe. The shape of the Stone Visitor is reminiscent of the Rumanian-born artist Constantin Brancusi's (1876-1957) Endless columns carved in wood.
