RE: the Story of the Mysterious Violinist
Hmmm I wonder why the artist wanted anonymity... Hmmm. My guess is it's either they thought it wasn't their best art or they didn't want to be identified as working with the government. Or they just didn't want to be criticized or praised for it. 🤔
Why is it coming out of the floor though...
That is a good question. I read somewhere, this piece was first in water and then moved to our city hall. Maybe because Amsterdam is below sea level? Maybe because music can come from deep? Maybe because music can come from everywhere, also from below? Who knows :)
Maybe because the artist just doesn't want to be known? I know artists who are quite afraid of becoming a public figure. One of the stories is that our former Queen Beatrix is the artist; In that case I can imagine she doesn't want to be knows, since she didn't want to be in public in private terms.
Yeah it's hard to be popular, no more privacy...
