It is
specified that the sculptures of musicians are made full-length and is about 50
kilograms every of them. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo
Starr are represented as on the cover of the album "Abbey Road". But

University grove.
"I
wanted to create mobile sculptural composition for placement in the urban
environment – the University grove approaches for this purpose perfectly. The
idea of creation had appeared seven years ago, and John Lennon was the heaviest
to embody – many fine details, hairstyle, beard", – Gnedykh is quoted in

started in the Tomsk universities on June 20. The Beatles will stay in the TSU
grove until the end of the summer.
