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 are by the sculpture. Jerzmanowski is kneeling in front and extending his hand with a frying pan, Burnat is standing behind the sculpture and extending his hands towards Jerzmanowski. It is a participatory sculpture. It was purchased by the Milanese gallerist Arturo Schwarz in 1973. Schwarz planned to create the Museum of the Avant-Garde of Eastern Europe, but he did not carry out the plan. After many years, he sold his collection at auction. From that moment on, the fate of the sculpture is unknown.
