description: Photo session in Jerzy Bereś’s studio at Siemaszki Street in Kraków, during which Jerzy Bereś launches the sculpture "God’s Hand" (1972), Maciej Jerzmanowski and Jan Burnat also take part in the session. They surround the sculpture, which is set in motion (pendulum), Bereś and Jerzmanowski with their backs turned on the left, Burnat on the right. It is a participatory sculpture. It was purchased by the Milanese gallerist Arturo Schwarz in 1973. Schwarz planned to establish the Museum of the Avant-Garde of Eastern Europe, but the plan was not realized. After many years, he sold his collection at auction. From that moment on, the fate of the sculpture is unknown.
