description: A photo session on the sidewalk in front of Jerzy Bereś’s studio on Siemaszki Street, showing passers-by turning on the sculpture "Toy" (1972/73). A young man, two girls and a dog stand next to the sculpture. 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 realize the plan. After many years, he sold his collection at auction. From that moment on, the fate of the sculpture is unknown.
