The work
When the Trasa Łazienkowska opens in 1974, an open-air sculpture gallery is laid out along the edge of the escarpment: Ab Ovo stands beside works by Sieklucki, Wróblewski, Trojan and Stryjecki, photographed in colour for the press. The city has always called it «Kompozycja» — it is the name the papers of the seventies give it and the name the maps still give it — but in her own lists the artist records it under the Latin title.
