HUBER R. SCHMID The Acropolis, Athens, 2000

This large-format reproduction of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece was created as part of an ambitious project to produce the largest printed calendar in the world for the year 2000. The calendar was intended to showcase Europe’s most iconic landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, Acropolis, Brandenburg Gate, and other major destinations.

Due to the overwhelming costs of production, the project was eventually abandoned, leaving only a limited number of surviving copies. This rarity enhances the collectible value of the piece, as few of these monumental reproductions remain in circulation. The image of the Acropolis is rendered in stunning detail and size, capturing the grandeur and historical importance of this globally recognized landmark. This unique piece serves as a tangible remnant of a grand but unrealized vision for the millennium celebration.
