A friend of mine in Paris sent me a message saying that she had seen my work at the major retrospective Escher exhibition at the Monnaie de Paris museum. Alongside the master's works, the exhibition also featured pieces by several artists who can be considered precursors or successors of M. C. Escher. Piranesi was there as a predecessor, Reutersvard as a contemporary, and I was there as a successor with my work Stairs. Since the exhibition, which has been open since November, will only be open until March 1, I had to hurry. I was really surprised by how many people are still interested in Escher today. The gatekeeper threw up his hands: all tickets had been sold in advance. I was forced to admit that I also had something hanging in one of the rooms, so I was lucky enough to get in after all. The Stairs (sometimes also exhibited under the title Time Sights) was transferred to the Paris exhibition from the Maurits Collection in Italy. It seems that I have several pictures in the Maurits Collection, at least according to the information on the Internet. I am also attaching The Corner House.
