He was interested in Dürer’s Melancholia and reconstructed three-dimensionally that famous stone onto which a woman symbolizing melancholy put her arm and head. Two stones, a large one covered with gold (?) and a small one painted with a blue sky (Deckwitz made several of these smaller stones) were situated in the working room, a third one was in the pyramid itself. Deckwitz writes that he produced a first stone for the exhibition at the Moderne Museet in Stockholm and a second one in Lucerne in 1973. (Gent, 1986).
