Preps Release .SG/SM/15 3 17 September TEXT OF STATJEMENT BY SECRETARY-GENERAL . AT UNVEILING OF CHAGALL PANEL Following is the text of the statement made by the Secretary-General, U Thant, at the unveiling ceremony on 17 September of the Chagall stained-glass memorial panel, contributed by the Secretariat staff in memory of the late Secretary-General Dag Hamcarskjold and his companions: "This is a day of solemn remembrance. Exactly three years ago Dag Eammarskjold set out on his final flight. On the morrow, the whole world mourned his tragic death, and that of his gallant companions. "in a real sense, something of each one of us died with them, for the whole range of the Secretariat was represented on that flight -- the substantive officers, the personal assistants, the .secretaries, the Field Service and the United Nations peace-keeping forces. Today, we remember their sacrifice, and we pay tribute to them and to all who have died in the service of the United Nations. "Now a great artist, one of the acknowledged masters of modern art, Marc Chagall, has created a living memorial to their memory; a superb work which takes its place among the historic treasures of this building. In shapes and colours, in symbolic forms and designs, Marc Chagall has sought to express the simplicity and the beauty of the ideals of peace and brotherhood which we all endeavour to serve. "I am deeply moved b^r his symbol of peace — a young child being kissed on the cheek by an angelic face which emerges out of a joyous mass of flowers. And there are other symbols of peace we shall find as we study and search out the varied significance of the glorious design before us. (more) - 2 - Press Release SG/SM/155 1? September "In expressing man1 s yearning for peace and brotherhood, and his readiness to lay down his life in his search for these ideals, Marc Chagall has depicted that enduring spiritual reality which gives depth and meaning to human life and to all our efforts, both in the United Nations and outside it, to make this world a safer and better place for all. "In accepting this magnificent work of art., I wish to thank Marc Chagall and all the members of the staff whose joint gift it is. I wish to congratulate all those who had a share in it, particularly Charles and Brigitte Marq. who translated Marc Chagall' s visual poetry into glass, and I should also like to thank all those whose generosity has helped to make this event possible. "This beautiful memorial to Dag Hammarskjold and to his companions becomes today a living part of our own awareness of the meaning and purpose of the United Nations." * UNITED HAT IONS Press Services Office of Public Ini'ornation United Nation*, N.Y.

A stained glass panel by the French artist Marc Chagall will be unveiled at United Nations Headquarters on 17 September as a memorial to former Secretary-General Dag Hammarslcjold and the 15 others who died wi.th him* in 1961 in a plane crash at Ndola, Northern Iil;odesia. The ceremony will mark the third anniversary of the accident. The s&aaorial will be unveiled by the Secretary-General, U Thant, in the south-eastern section of the lobby of the Secretariat building, facing the East River. Creation of the memorial has bees made possible "by United Nations staff members at Headquarters and abroad^ wh® to date have donated $17*000 in response to an appeal launched soon after Mr. Eammarskj old's death by a committee of the United Nations Staff Council. The late Secretary-General was an admirer of the work of Marc Chagall, and the artist agreed to donate an original work for the memorial. He began working on the sketch about 18 months ago and the final "maquette" — the painting on which the stained gl§,ss panel is based -- was ready late last year* The task of translating the ''maquette" on glass has since been carried out at the Atelier Jacques Simon, a stained glass workshop in Reims, France. The panel, which is about 15 feet wide and 12 feet high., depicts conceptions of the artist on the themes of peace and man* The Italian Line agreed to transport tlie panel from France to New York free of charge, and it arrived on 27 August on board the liner Cristoforo Colombo* The panel is in five section and will be assembled at United Nations Headquarters „ The artist and Mrs.
