6th Jun 2013, Beelden aan Zee, Den Haag

In the main gallery of the museum between many other works that have just arrived from Russia stands the work: “Jupiter’s Tomb, Reconstruction of an architect model from 1927”, done in 2003 by Yuri Avvakumov. I saw the little mannequin hanging on the swing, balancing the model. After I read the title of the work: “Tribute to all artists of the world and everyone who knows me”.I asked myself if it is a metaphor about the artist himself.
