CITIES - sculptures and land art
Bleiswijk
victory - previously installed in Koog aan de Zaan in the Dutch
town of Zaanstad - The Netherlands (1984-2000) - its populist mayor
R. Vreeman decided to comply with a more than ten year old petition
drawn up by a citizen (Schot Cranes) who didn't like the sculpture
studies were made to relocate this work along the TGV-line (Train à
Grande Vitesse the French high velocity train) on its way through
Holland to Amsterdam - near Bleiswijk in the province of South Holland
it runs above the ground
In 2003 however the Prins Bernhard Culture Fund (Prins Bernhard
Cultuurfonds) did not allocate the necessary twenty thousand Euros
to make realization possible - they found the sculpture dated -
the committee members were probably able to recognize the period
in which the sculpture was made - this of course is true of all
art which reflects its time. Often committee members like to show
off their knowledge in strange ways.
