Kiskirálylány

A statue of little Princess (Kiskirálylány) sitting on the railings of the Danube promenade in Budapest is modeled after the eldest daughter, Évike, of the scuruptore, László Marton (1925–2008). It became a symbol of Budapest since its foundation in 1990.

"Évike, aged around 6, played in a little princess costume by pretending her bathrobe as cloak and a hat László made from newspaper as crown", László said in 2007.



The same statue can be seen in in Tapolca, the artist's hometown and in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space (東京芸術劇場) cultural center's concert hall. JAPAN!!
