Statue Complex Honours "Ancient Greek" Heroes |
For the first time since the launch of the project, the government on Monday presented an official financial report, which confirmed rumours of the hefty fees paid to the sculptors.
Valentina Stevanovska, author of some of the main statues that form part of the project, including the equestrian statue of Alexander the Great, one of his father, Philip, as well as a triumphal arch, earned 2.9 million euro in fees, the report showed.
Like many of her colleagues involved in the project, Stevanovska was a complete unknown before being awarded commissions to design the grand statues.
