Detail of the long table with a blue table cloth of the so-called “Baby Room” (Franke, 1993). The table carried a white goose, a glass vase with flowers and a row of presumably 13 plates partly painted. The plates came from Amsterdam and were painted by Thek himself (Interview with Edwin Klein, June 9, 2005). There are still 13 plates in the collection of the Museum of Art Lucerne. Even though there is no photograph documenting this number of plates it can be assumed that Thek used this number of plates referring to the Last Supper. The egg shaped mirror, formerly part of the Chicken Coop, was placed left of the table (not in the image) and is also a symbol of resurrection and "ressembles the gloriole that surrounds the risen Christ in medieval icons (...)" (Philadelphia, 1977). For the work of art © The Estate of George Paul Thek, New York. For the photography © The Paul George Thek Estate, New York. Photo: H.P. Bertschy.
