Another most significant opinion aboout on the "Endless Column" at the comparasion level appread in London, England, several year after sculptor's demise:
"The Endless Column is the only sculpture of the modern era that bears comparasion with the great monuments of Egypt, Greece and the Renaissance"
William Tucker, "The Hand That Change The Forms" in The Daily Telegraph, July 20, 1973
Such an accurate comparasion explains why Peggy Guggenheim offered several million dollars for the original Column (5 million, which at that time, was the equivalent amount of the annual budget of a big Romanian city as Bucharest ), but the Romanian Governement refused the offer.
