Page 16Cavern and art / Please notehe sculptor Peter Schmitz hasT once again been busy for SOCON.Following on from his numerous diverseworks revolving around caverns and saltof the past few years he has now preparedsome new creations.SOCON now looks back on more than 40 years ofworking together with Salinen Austria and on over 30 years ofcooperation with IVG. These are outstanding and in many areasalso extremely amicable working relationships and assuch deserve suitable and prestigious recognition as a way ofsaying thank you. We at SOCON thought that the most appropriateway of doing this would be to present a work of art relatedto the subject of caverns. In the past we have time andagain realized that these works of art meet with approval becausethey present in a different light the often quite abstractsubject of caverns.Do such works of art appeal to you? If so, please note thatthese creations are not reserved exclusively for our longstandingcustomers. Indeed, such sculptures can be includedin the terms of a contract and handed over to the customer atthe end off a project as an artistic summary of the cavern operations.Moreover, we would be pleased generally to arrangefor customers to have sculptures of their own created by PeterSchmitz.F.
