You'll see them on strategic outcrops, lofty passes and sweeping plateaus: gigantic sculptures, firmly anchored to the rocks. They are objects of stunning beauty. Their abstract geometric shapes recall macro views of viruses, flower-petal goblets, crystals. They are built of indesctructible materials like reinforced concrete, steel and granite. Some are solid. others hollow. The largest Spomeniks even afford access to the public, teetering on the boundary where sculpture becomes architecture. VG/VG: Exlibary book.
