The interview of rock critic and art-historian Darko Glavan with the Croatian sculptor Mladen Mikulin (Croatian Radio-Television HRT 1996), who made the famous bust of Jim Morrison in 1981 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Jim's death. The legendary frontman of The Doors was Mikulin's greatest inspiration when he was just a young sculptor in search for artistic freedom. He speaks about his administrative troubles when he asked for the license to place the bust and the new grave-stone with Morrison's name on the tomb. He said his motive for intervention on Jim's grave (Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris) those days was a fact that visitors there just looked into empty hole between the others tombstones. He thought that was not appropriate. Devastated through the years by the cemetery vandals, the sculpture was at Jim's grave until March 1988, when it was stolen without a trace, which was very sad day for the sculptor. Mikulin later made two more Morrison's portraits in bronze, but unfortunately he's still waiting for the license to place a new sculpture on the tomb. Mladen Mikulin was born in 1958. He graduated in 1986 from the sculpture department of the Academy of Visual Arts in Zagreb. Today he lives in Vukovina near Zagreb, Croatia. Cemetery cool and quiet Hate to leave your sacred lay Dread the milky coming of the day I´d love to stay...
