Priča iza djela:
Na ovom je mjestu od 1981. do veljače 1992. stajao izvorni monumentalni spomenik Nikoli Tesli, koji je u to vrijeme bio prepoznatljivi simbol grada. Autor spomenika je Krsto Hegedušić (idejno rješenje) / Frano Kršinić (kipar). Isti takvi odlijevi postavljeni su na beogradskom Elektrotehničkom fakultetu te na planini Niagara (SAD). 1992.g. spomenik je uništen uslijed ratnih zbivanja, a godine 2021., odljev istog Kršinićevog spomenika vraćen je u Gospić, na novu lokaciju – ispred Kulturno Informativnog Centra (KIC).

The Story Behind the Art:
The original monument to Nikola Tesla, which was a recognizable symbol of the city at that time, stood at this location from 1981 to February 1992. The author of the monument is Krsto Hegedušić (conceptual solution) / Frano Kršinić (sculptor). Similar casts were placed at the Belgrade Faculty of Electrical Engineering and on Niagara Falls (USA). In 1992, the monument was destroyed due to war events, and in 2021, the cast of the same Kršinić monument was returned to Gospić, to a new location – in front of the Cultural Information Center (KIC).
