Facade Plastics and Discussions of the 'Percentage Law' in Estonia in the 1930s

Summary/Abstract: In 2011 a 'percentage law' was adopted in Estonia. This law prescribes that one percent of the budget of public buildings must be used for art in order to enrich the public space aesthetically. Public discussions on this subject became active in Estonia in 2008: many articles were written, a large exhibition was organised and seminars held. The law was eventually applied in a different form than originally planned, but artists were pleased that it was finally adopted.
