Isten utazott a Brooklyn-i metrón? Paul Deutschman > Marcel Sternberger módszeres ember volt, közel ötven éves, de már őszült a göndör haja, jámbor barna szemei voltak, amelyekbe csak akkor gyúlt fény, ha hazája csárdás táncát járta.

Readymade Revisited Returns

Episode 4 has taken me more than a month to get out -- probably closer to a month and a half. I could blame it on the fact that school is back in session, or that I’ve been sick and quarantined while waiting for my Covid-19 results, or that, because my doctor’s office has gone through four primary care physicians in five months, and now there just isn’t one, I’m off my antidepressants for the first time in a looong time.

But those are all just excuses. Sitting down to write, even for a few minutes, has become an anxiety inducing nightmare.

Today, I am writing. The world is on fire - literally and figuratively. The United States is being eaten alive by climate change and hate. It’s exhausting. I’m writing anyway.

Issue 4 of Readymade Magazine, released in Fall of 2002, ticks all my boxes. The Go Bungalow article probably had nothing to do with the reason I purchased a 1918 bungalow a few years back. The article about Shishmaref, Alaska, has led to me planning an entire -- post Corona -- trip to the tiny fishing village. The projects include a lot of weird lamps, Halloween costumes, holiday cooking, and a DIY advent calendar. This is the nonsensical novelty of Readymade that I live for.

But until now it wasn’t enough to get me to sit my ass down and write. I have been creating PTSD-induced mixed-media collages and sullen poetry in an attempt to stay grounded. It’s been therapeutic, or at least it’s been a socially acceptable cry for help/time sink.

So, here we go, Readymade Revisited, post hiatus, begins now. Thanks for coming along on this journey.

The Artist, the Astronauts, and the Man in the Moon

It was a small and very private memorial ceremony. The statue was nestled next to a small memorial plaque before the one man in attendance left to rejoin his companion, never to return again. Back at home the sculptor of the statue waited, drinking in the calmer moments before he was sure he would become a household name. He had done something amazing with this latest work, but when the press jumped it was not on the sculptor, but on the people that placed his work where it would forever remain. The battle between the artist and the placers wasn't just for credit, it began with wanting recognition to be given that the piece even existed, something the people in charge never wanted known in the first place.

In the 1960s the entire globe was wrapped up in the great Space Race to the stars, including the owner of New York City's Waddell Gallery Dick Waddel and gallery director Louise Deutschman. The studio in the hands of Deutschman was displaying pieces by artist Paul Van Hoeydonck and when Deutschman suggested to him and the gallery owner that Van Hoeydonck be the first man to put art on the moon the reaction was not positive with Van Hoeydonck asking how it would even be possible. But, within a matter of months Van Hoeydonck was designing a sculpture and sitting in a Florida restaurant enjoying a meal with David Scott and David Irwin of the upcoming Apollo 15 mission. The meal between the artists and the astronauts went well with shared interests and praises peppering the conversation and drinks raised to each other. Toward the end of the festivities as a toast was made with the declaration "Let's get him a sculpture on the moon!" When Van Hoeydonck left the restaurant that evening he had plans to make, he needed to head back to his home in Belgium and get to work on a prototype for the first piece of art to ever be put on the moon.

The crew of the Apollo 15 mission. From left to right James B. Irwin, Al Worden, and David R. Scott.

How do you design a sculpture destined for space? This was a topic with many branches to consider. Van Hoeydonck envisioned something to capture the weight of the accomplishment of space travel, the magnitude of piercing the sky and entering this new world. But, Scott had a much different idea and wanted the piece to serve as a memorial to those people, from the United States AND from Russia, who had died in the pursuit of space exploration. Besides the artistic differences to work around there were also the physical requirements the piece had to meet in order to make the trip. Scott said that it could not portray any specific race or gender and could not be any color. It also had to be small, small enough to fit disclosed in a pocket, and be made of material that could withstand the extremely harsh conditions on the moon where temperatures could soar into the hundreds and also plummet hundreds of degrees below zero. The end result was a tiny, sleek, reclining human form made from aluminum and crafted by the Brooklyn, New York foundry Milgo/Bufkin.

On July 30th 1971 the Apollo 15 crew of David Scott, James Irwin, and Alfred Worden touched down on the surface of the moon and while Worden orbited overhead Irwin and Scott spent three days investigating this very new terrain. Just before the three men were due to begin their return trip back to Earth and enter into a cloud of fanfare, Scott took a few moments and bounded away from the lunar rover alone. Once he found a spot he deemed worthy he stood in silence, removed the tiny three inch long silver statue from his pocket, and placed it in a spot of moon dust. Next to it he placed a small plaque inscribed with the names of all the men, including some of Scott's personal friends, who had died in the still-infant pursuit of space. He took a solemn moment, and a moment was all he had before he was called back by Irwin. The small figure designed by Van Hoeydonck had a new and proper home, it was time the three astronauts returned to theirs.

The statue and commemorative plaque placed on the moon by David Scott.

When the astronauts arrived back home they immediately found themselves inside of a whirlwind. Press conferences, interviews, tours to schools and hospitals all over the country, appearances, and tours of the White House led by Nixon all made Scott, Irwin, and Worden household names. One name that was not on the tip of everyone's tongues though was that of Paul Van Hoeydonck, and the artist was anything but pleased. This piece was supposed to be the benchmark of a new chapter of art history, it was supposed to put him among the ranks of the great artists with his claim of being the first to have art on the moon placing him in an entirely new category above the rest. But, the exact opposite happened. The statue was only mentioned once at a press conference and Van Hoeydonck was completely and totally omitted. How could this be? The root of the problem lay in the fact that Van Hoeydonck and the astronauts had very different views of what this event was. To the artist Van Hoeydonck, putting a statue, HIS statue, was a glamorous historical event across multiple worlds that should have catapulted him to stardom. To the astronauts, it was a solemn and private memorial that deserved silent respect for the lives lost. The entire image that Van Hoeydonck had for his piece was gone, especially when the astronauts unofficially dubbed the statue the “Fallen Astronaut", a name that stuck.

The Apollo 15 crew arriving at Ellington Air Force Base as one of their many appearances once they returned home.

Bitterness slowly brewed in Van Hoeydonck until September 21st when the astronauts sat down for breakfast with the artist while they were touring Belgium. The men exchanged pleasantries with the Apollo 15 crew praising the artist and giving him a signed photograph thanking him for his "contribution to our flight and to the world.” But, it was here that Van Hoeydonck was also given a very specific rule by Scott, the man who actually laid Fallen Astronaut on the surface of the moon. Van Hoeydonck was forbidden to say anything about the statue to anyone for one year. Several months later Van Hoeydonck crossed paths with a booklet entitled Apollo 15: At Hadley Base which had a small passage about his sculpture. His name was not mentioned.

The following November Van Hoeydonck received a letter from the crew of Apollo 15 informing him that the Smithsonian Institute was interested in purchasing two exact replicas of Fallen Astronaut for permanent exhibition if he was willing to make them. When the astronauts were approached by the Smithsonian they thought it was a great idea but the same could not be said of Van Hoeydonck. For one, he was deeply insulted that the institution had to reach out to the astronauts because he was invisible but the real blow to the ego came from the place in the letter where the Smithsonian referred to Van Hoeydonck not as the "artist" but as the "workman" who produced the work. Eventually the artist did agree to make two exact replicas of Fallen Astronaut, one of which became part of the permanent collection of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. But, the request and inclusion in the Smithsonian stirred Van Hoeydonck and he decided his time in the shadows was done. He contacted Dick Waddell and Louise Deutschman to tell them he wanted his long overdue recognition and the two contacted CBS. On the day of the next Apollo launch Walter Cronkite would finally announce on air the name of the man who put a statue on the moon.

When Scott opened the letter from Van Hoeydonck informing him of the upcoming Cronkite piece the astronaut wrote back voicing his concern. He said that most likely the biggest question would be about the purpose of the little sculpture and Scott wrote that he hoped that the serious meaning would not be swallowed up and disregarded in favor of a more sensational explanation. In his response back Van Hoeydonck assured Scott that the only reason he was going to appear on CBS was to finally earn the due credit as the artist who created the piece, not to sensationalize or degrade the memorial in any way. When Van Hoeydonck made his televised appearance on April 16th 1972 it was moments after the launch of Apollo 16, and he was armed with another replica of Fallen Astronaut. He referred to it as "the smallest monument on Earth" when Cronkite cut him off by saying "not on Earth, though. Smallest memorial in the universe.”

Van Hoeydonck was certain that his time was now. His name was finally out as the first man to put art on the moon. It was exactly what he had wanted, but once again, his spotlight failed to fully light. At this point in time the fascination with space was fading from people's minds and even more so from the government's budgets. Some of the future Apollo missions were cancelled, spacecrafts were left unused, and back in New York gallery owner Dick Waddell was looking for a ray of hope for his gallery and for Van Hoeydonck. Over time the two came up with the plan to create a series of 950 signed replicas of Fallen Astronaut that would be available to purchase for $750 with a cheaper run of replicas to be released later. A full page ad appeared in the July 1972 issue of Art in America announcing the sale and promising that "Each is similar in the most exact detail to the sculpture on the Moon.”

In May of 1972 David Scott was not pleased after hearing about the sale of replicas of what he still deeply considered to be a memorial to his fellow astronauts and fallen friends. He wrote to Van Hoeydonck saying he assumed this was all a rumor and asking for clarification. What he got in return from the artist was a long letter discussing the decline of interest in space travel, his own struggling art sales, and in the end saying that he believed the selling of the replicas was best to recharge the interest in space travel and it should not be kept a secret between a few select parties. Van Hoeydonck saw a chance to make money, Scott saw a tombstone for sale.

Meanwhile, Scott and the rest of the Apollo 15 crew were coming under fire for the loosely related matter that became known as "The Postage Stamp Incident.” When the men traveled up to the moon they brought with them 641 stamped envelopes that they were to postmark from the moon and bring back as souvenirs. 100 of the envelopes were purchased by a collector who made a deal to resell them years later and give some of the proceeds to the astronauts once they were out of the public eye. But, the collector began selling them immediately and by the time the crew of the Apollo 15 backed out it was too late. NASA became aware of the deal and the crew was reprimanded before Congress, they were not permitted to profit from an official fight. This event, paired with another commercialism scandal involving Apollo 14 and the sale of commemorative silver medals made it a very bad time for another Apollo-related piece to questionably show up for sale. In September 1972 NASA inspectors made a visit to Belgium where they called Van Hoeydonck and demanded to know information about the replicas of Fallen Astronaut. Who was making them? Who created the original? Were the astronauts or anyone else personally profiting from an official United States government program? Also contacted was Milgo/Bufkin, the Brooklyn, New York foundry that produced the original Fallen Astronaut and had plans to work on the replicas. The foundry was told to cease production or they would be in trouble with the U.S. government. Fifty replicas of Fallen Astronaut were made before the operation came to a halt.

With the death of the replicas of the Fallen Astronaut the spotlight on everyone involved began to fade. The art community felt the replicas were distasteful and Van Hoeydonck continued to work but for the most part it was outside of the United States. Scott and the rest of the Apollo crew never returned to space, and the Waddell gallery in New York closed. Over time forgeries of Fallen Astronaut began to circulate but the few legitimate ones remain firmly in the hands of their owners, most of which say they will never sell them.

Decades after the incident of Fallen Astronaut, Van Hoeydonck was invited to speak about his work at the Smithsonian in December 2013. To a room of around forty people he discussed his version of events surrounding Fallen Astronaut while making a point to say he greatly admires the astronauts who go into space. David Scott was never contacted by the Smithsonian about the event.

Today the official replica of Fallen Astronaut that was made for the Smithsonian remains in the collection of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. along with the spacesuit used by Scott during the Apollo 15 mission.
