At that time Mark di Suvero was offered a workshop for producing his steel structure art on the terrain of our company. I remember him on his white bisycle (provo issue in those days) at about 11 a.m. entering the gate of the firm. In his half open work shed he had a wooden bed tied up to a roof beam with four ropes. While rocking on that he gathered inspiration for his art. He was allowed by the company to use steelbeams from the stock of the firm. With the help of a small hand crane and a welding machine he created several artpieces of steelbeams which where shown in several parks of Eindhoven. Unfortunately children thought they were toys and started climbing on them. Of course this went wrong sometime and they fell off after which the local authorities put rubber tiles under the art structures. No signs of FORBIDDEN TO CLIMB of course. Later I discovered who he was (we had never heard of him) and that he also showed art in the Kroller Muller museum in Arnhem. I still have to go and see it. Those were the days.
