La fontaine Stravinsky
Next to the Centre Georges ompidou in Paris, on Place Igor Stravinsky, there is a small fountain with sculptures by Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely.
Everything is in movement and Tinguely’s black, rather technical scupltures compliment Niki de Saint Phalle’s colourful organic creatures surprosingly well.
In the foreground, you see “Le Chapeau” (the hat), and Le coeur (the heart), in the background the “L’oiseau de feu” (the firebird) statue by Niki de Saint Phalle and “La vie” (life) and “la musique” (Music) by Jean Tinguely.
