“The history of the last century has often been compared to a chess game, with political systems, brands, and artistic movements jousting for world dominance. Each figure in our monumental chess set alludes to a particular icon of the century’s troubled history, from the sinking Titanic to the scarred towers of the World Trade Centre. The Space Shuttle, Coca-Cola Bottle, Unabomber Cabin and VW Beetle-are all here. Essentially our chess set is a collection of 32 different sculptures. Their display changes instantly, according to the progress of the game”. Constantin and Laurene Boym
