with György Galántai’s work “Main Road – Private Property” in the background.

A work made later, titled a “Group of Main Road Signs” (1975)
If you take the original meaning of the signpost, repeating is nonsense. It is the repetition itself that lifts it into the realm of art.
(We need a multitude of main roads.) A specifically Eastern European problem.(?)

Group of Main Road Signs

The “Group of Main Road Signs” expresses the desire for something that is non-existent, while the work “Main Road – Private Property” conveys the acceptance of an existing situation.
