The rich accompanying catalogue of the exhibition of the same title, which was hosted at the Benaki Museum of Greek Culture (autumn 2023), brings together all the objects included in the exhibition. Stone tools, mainly hand axes, from various locations in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, but also from the excavation at Rodafnidia in Lesvos, along with objects whose form has arisen either from natural conditions or from human intervention / intention, constitute a material that invites us to reflect on the time and conditions of the beginning of "the conscious desire for aesthetic expression". The edition, an enriched version of the English edition First Sculpture: Han daxe to Figure Stone, which was held at the Nasher Sculpture Center (Dallas) in 2018, includes extensive texts by the editors of the first and second editions, as well as important material from the excavation at Rodafnidia, Lesvos.
