This hologram, a recent copy from an older master, was purchased in 2004 from Russian Holographic Studio, who were unaware of its origin, having acquired a batch of masters along with their studio.
An article published in Holosphere Vol.17 nos 2-3, 1990, by Ronald R.Erickson, entitled Harriet Casdin-Silver: New Works
sheds new light on the authorship of this work.
The article is illustrated by photographs, several of which show the Russian Icon hologram, captioned as "IKONY" 1990.
It describes Harriet Casdin-Silver's visit to Dr Vladimir Markov's laboratory at Kiev Institute of Physics, where she produced a number of works in collaboration with Russian holographers. The Russian Icon hologram was one of these. It might therefore be appropriate to attribute it to Harriet Casdin-Silver/Kiev Institute of Physics Holography Laboratory, with technical assistance from Vladimir Shiskov, Sergei Timoshenko, Evgeny Griegori and Andre Timoshenko.
