Accident or art?


Despite what you may think, this is a sculpture... I took this photo in the courtyard of the Artcurial Gallery which a vary famous art gallery and auction house in Paris (at the bottom of the Champs Elysees). But I unfortunately could not find the name of the artist anywhere. If someone has the info...

  2. Mmmmmm.... I've got a little idea. Isn't the name of the artist "José Bové" ? You know, someone trying to avoid genetically modified fruits ? With the DS, the true way to "good old french way of life"...
    OK, I stop saying silly things...
    Eric, happy to see you back from holidays ! And in great shape !

  3. What is the title of this sculpture? Could it possibly be L'Idée de Parmentier? (Although I am not sure what all those vegetables are, looks to me like potatoes, but some do look like onions too.) But it's a cool piece, nevertheless. Thanks for sharing it with us, who would never have seen it otherwise.

  4. Elisabeth> These are cobblestones.

    Anyway, if you thought steeling it, good luck!

  6. Who would want to steal a car like that? ;-) Thanks for showing it to us, Eric. I wasn't sure what these rocks were either.

    See you tomorrow!

  7. Hi Eric,

    I've seen this display as well off the Champs Elysée near the Rond Point. I looked for an artist's name, but none could be found. Elisabeth, the round things are actually stones. It looks as though it could have been named, "Danger - Falling Rocks" like the signs on the side of mountains. It's pretty creative, but I would hate to be the one having to install or demount the exhibit...too heavy!
