76. About the Photographs of the Construction

Yes, you see, this building now includes what is generally necessary: a little more money. The construction has already cost quite a lot, but it should not be immediately believed that the construction costs too much, that it - the fact should go through you - that actually free work has been done, which has been done as free work by the work of our members. You know that an insurance sum is only insured for what is manual and external work; the insurance company has insured the construction for exactly what it cost without further ado, without contradiction. This is also external proof that nothing was given away. You can see from this that the building is worth what it costs. [There is still money to be raised, which I hope will be raised in the near future. I didn't want to talk to you today about this dark side of the matter, but to give you a true account in artistic terms of what is being done in Dornach. I wanted to show that something is really being attempted here, through which a new artistic element of humanity is to be introduced from our movement.
