In the middle of Jutland's nature, close to Egtved and Vejle, you will find one of Denmark's most fascinating outdoor artworks – the Landscape Sculpture by Robert Jacobsen and Jean Clareboudt.
The monumental artwork is located in the old Tørskind Gravel Pitwhere the raw terrain of nature and the pure forms of art merge in a unique encounter between human, landscape, and material.

She unfolds Art and nature as a unified story, created by two of Europe's most visionary artists.

From raw gravel pit to artistic whole

In the 1980s, the abandoned Tørskind Gravel Pit was chosen as the setting for a magnificent art project.
The two artists, Robert Jacobsen (Denmark) og Jean Clareboudt (France)created here a kunstlandscape, which has since become one of the most prominent Land art works in Northern Europe.

They transformed the former gravel pit into a monumental outdoor gallery, where steel, stone, concrete, wood, and light meets in a carefully coordinated composition
The result was one gigantic sculpture park, where each element has its own rhythm, its own weight, and its own voice.

A collaboration between two artists

Robert Jacobsen was known as one of Denmark's largest sculptors, famous for its abstract steel works and geometric shapes.
Jean Clareboudt, who worked with him, shared the fascination of rum, movement, and light - but also added elements of nature: stones, wood, and earth.

Together they created one Dialogue between the forms of nature and human constructions.
Where Robert Jacobsen worked with heavy, metallic materials, Clareboudt worked with the organic – and in the meeting between them, a place was created that feels both monumental and poetic.

Several elements of the work are arranged as painter for the sky, where one can look up through openings and see how the light plays between the shapes.
Other elements lead the thoughts towards Human's relationship with time, gravity, and balance.
