Monument in Honour of Fighters for the Freedom
of Nations in Milan - documents (1-21/21)

In 1970 the artist participated in a competition for a project of a Monument of the Fighters for the Freedom of Nations, which was to be situated in Milan. Szapocznikow collected visual materials on the subject, planning to sink blow-ups of these photographs in polyester. The preserved fragment of the model shows the entire design of the monument as prepared together with Jerzy Chudzik, Roman Cieślewicz, and Zbigniew Parandowski. Szapocznikow had already worked with the first two on a project of the Monument of the Heroes of Warsaw (1957), and a Monument in Auschwitz (1958).
