Monument to Frank Zappa by Konstantinas Bogdanas, 1996
Kalinausko gatvę, Užupis
Vilnius, September 1997
“Saulius Paukstys, a civil servant and member of the Vilnius bohemian set, saw the opportunity to fulfil a lifelong ambition. He founded the Frank Zappa Fan Club and commissioned a socialist realist sculptor to create a statue of Zappa on a patch of land in front of a children's hospital in the centre of the city.” (They tore down Lenin's statue - and raised one to Frank Zappa, The Guardian)
