He made his debut in 1889, and during the 1890s, he established himself as one of Norway's most promising sculptors. His breakthrough came in 1908 with the celestial monument to the Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel, and during the first decade of the 20th century, he created several critically acclaimed portraits and monuments. From 1907, he became gradually more preoccupied with his great Fountain, which was to become the Vigeland Park in Oslo, today one of Norway's most visited tourist attractions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this catalogue, Gustav Vigeland is presented alongside the following artists: Antoine-Louis Barye (1795-1875), Constantin Meunier (1831-1905), Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), Aristide Maillol (1861-1944), and Antoine Bourdelle (1861-1929).
