Abraham Lincoln in the minds of Americans is one of the greatest Presidents of the United States of America in history, one of the most popular and quoted personalities even today. This is indirectly proved by the discovery in Ford's Theater exposition dedicated to him, the central part of which is Tower of Books.
Creating structures from books is one of the popular trends in contemporary art. On the site Culturology. RF we have already talked, for example, about the endless tower in the libraries of Prague and the Book Cell installation in Lisbon. A similar structure has recently appeared in Washington. It is dedicated to the President of the United States Abraham Lincoln.
An exposition dedicated to the next anniversary of Abraham Lincoln has recently opened at the Ford's Theater cultural and educational center in the American capital. It opened on February 12, on the day of the 203rd anniversary of this great American president. The described exhibition presents the politician's personal belongings and materials about him.
And the central part of the exposition was the Tower of Books, installed in the staircase atrium of Ford's Theater. Moreover, it consists exclusively of publications dedicated to Abraham Lincoln himself. There are more than fifteen thousand of them in it, published in different languages around the world since 1865, after the tragic death of the President.
This tower is a spiral of books three stories high. To keep it in place, the hardcover volumes are fastened together along a steel frame with clerical glue.
