description: A photo session on the sidewalk in front of Jerzy Bereś’s studio on Siemaszki Street, showing passers-by activating the sculpture "Toy" (1972/73). A man with a briefcase is stepping on the base of the sculpture and activating it. Jerzy Bereś is looking on. It is a participatory sculpture. It was purchased by the Milanese gallerist Arturo Schwarz in 1973. Schwarz planned to create the Museum of the Eastern European Avant-Garde, but the plan was never realized. After many years, he sold his collection at auction. Since then, the fate of the sculpture has not been known.
