Dedicated to the fourth day of mourning for Paul A. Levine
Four years have passed since Paul’s death (October 28, 2019) and in this context I would like to summarize some of the results of the Initiative’s activities.
The PILPAUL sculpture, the third work by Berlin sculptor Robert Schmidt-Matt in the series “A Traveling Tombstone”in memory of Paul A. Levine, will be acquired in full by the end of 2023. This was made possible by private donations from Sandra Skala, Igor Plotnik, Tatiana and Roman Medvedev and several others who did not wish to be named. My heartfelt thanks go to all of you!
In August-September 2023, the Initiative presented all three sculptures in an exhibition at the Kunsthaus Sans TitrePotsdam, where–“for many reasons and all manner of emotions”, as Paul might have said –the project generated great interest among guests and visitors.
A series of postcards was also published for this event, showing all three sculptures in different phases of their creation.
In May 2023, one of the sculptures, Tevat Paul, had its spring photoshoot in Amsterdam & The Hague with some promising results.
The initiative invited Uppsala University to place a plaque in honor of historian Paul A. Levine on the walls of The Hugo Valentine Center, where Paul was a co-founder and, as one of its director, successfully championed the development of this institute for decades. Negotiations with the Uppsala University on this issue are ongoing.
You can find our short films on these and other topics in the website’s video library.
