César created this sculpture from an enlarged molding of his own thumb using the 3-D pantographic technique. The pantorgaph is an instrument that allows to reproduce volumes at any scale while maintaining the proportions between the original and its copy. As such, the enlargement of the fingerprints and skin details is so precise that we clearly distinguish all the anatomical details of the thumb.

César Baldaccini (1921 – 1998) was a noted French sculptor. He was at the forefront of the Nouveau Réalisme movement with his radical compressions (compacted automobiles, discarded metal, or rubbish), expansions (polyurethane foam sculptures), and fantastic representations of animals and insects.

Tindaro, Igor MitorajThis massive bronze sculpture represents Tyndareus, who in Greez mythology was a Spartan king. The sculpture was erected in 1997 in front of the KPMG building, but was removed in 2015.
Igor Mitoraj (1944 – 2014) was a Polish-French artist born in Germany. Mitoraj's sculptural style is rooted in the classical tradition with its focus on the torso. However, Mitoraj introduced a post-modern twist with ostentatiously truncated limbs, emphasizing the damage sustained by most genuine classical sculptures. As he put it, “I feel that a piece of arm or a leg speak far more strongly than a whole body.” Many of his sculptures can be found in public places across the USA, Europe and Japan.

Armillary Sphere of Place DupleixBy the Dupleix Square in the 15th arrondissement of Paris is a large 4-meter-diameter armillary sphere that was made in 1991 by French sculptor Alain le Boucher. It has two rings: the meridian and the equator. The circles are graded on the inside: the equator measures time and the meridian has degrees. Unfortunately, the world axis that held planet Earth in the center of the sphere has disappeared. Alain le Boucher's work often centers around astronomy and the use of light.

It is illustration of art in all its forms, represented by an assembly of various slices of a feminine body with elements of different arts: a cello, a painting frame and books. Her face is the result of interlacing two different faces: the Venus de Milo and a Benin bronze. Arman thus mixes traditional African and modern European facial archetypes.

Arman (1928 – 2005), whose full name was Armand Fernandez, was a French-born American artist. He moved from using objects for the ink or paint traces they leave ("cachet", "allures d'objet") to using them as the painting itself. He is best known for his "accumulations" and destruction/recomposition of objects.

La pyramide inversée
La Pyramide Inversée (The Inverted Pyramid) is a skylight constructed in the Carrousel du Louvre shopping mall in front of the Louvre Museum in France. It may be thought of as a smaller sibling of the more famous Louvre Pyramid, yet turned upside down: its upturned base is easily seen from outside. Directly below the tip of the downwards-pointing glass pyramid, a small stone pyramid (about 1 m, 3.3 ft) is stationed on the floor.
