A NIGHT IN THE LENIN LIBRARY

The Lenin Library in Moscow, with 47 million books it is the fifth largest library of the world (by the way, they also have my "Chess Party on the Island", which puts them in front of the others, who just want to get them.) So I have an exhibition in the library. In the staircase hall my posters, in a long corridore hall the etchings, in an other room the anamorphoses and in the huge reading room the enlarged images of my skull illustrations are exhibited. As the highlight of the opening ceremony the members of the audience, following saxophonist Viktor Tóth, wandered through the secret corners of the night library and listened him in the large reading room at the foot of the big Ilyich's statue.
