A larger-than size bronze statue of the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was unveiled today at the Graphisoft Park in Budapest.
The statue was commissioned by Graphisoft Founder and Chairman of the Board Gabor Bojar.
The relationship between Graphisoft and Apple can be traced to the 1980’s, when Jobs came across the first version of Graphisoft’s ArchiCAD software at the 1984 CeBIT in Germany. His first impressions of the software led him to throw Apple’s support behind the development and distribution of ArchiCAD.
“Apple’s support included cash and computers at a time when Graphisoft was a small company with limited resources, working within the economic and political confines of what was, at the time, communist Hungary,” Mr. Bojar said in a statement.
Crafted by Hungarian sculptor Erno Toth, the statue is the first in the world honoring Jobs in such a fashion.
Jobs died on October 5 of pancreatic cancer at the age of 56.
