The College of Mayors and Aldermen and the Photographic Library of the City of Luxembourg were yesterday pleased to present the book published to mark the La Place d'Armes and the Circle exhibition to the winners of the competition organised under the exhibition.
The winners were Mrs Hélène Schmit, Mrs Renée Kugener-Lamesch, Mr Hervé Fayolle, Mr Fernand Putz and Mrs Chris Feith.
The exhibition was in place at the Belle Etoile shopping centre between 2 and 11 February this year, and traces the history and the change over time of this important site in the heart of the capital through 108 photographs taken by individual authors, including Tony Krier, Théo Mey, Marcel Schroeder, Marcel Tockert, Edouard Kutter, Charles Soubry and Marc Wilwert.
The exhibition attracted many visitors, of whom nearly 300 responded correctly to the contest question, namely "In whose memory was the monument at Jan Palach Square erected?”
(Answer: Edmond de la Fontaine and Michel Lentz).
