La Mosaïque Sculpture (Fountain)

Date: 1981

Artiste: Michel Deverne

 

Art integrated into Architecture, is the creed of Michel Deverne, born in 1927.

 

He conceived for La Defense the “Reliefs of the room of exchanges of the RER” with the sculptural decoration of the ventilation chimneys, designed by Andre-Prothin. The mosaic which accompanies the buildings by the Mirrors (1981) is also a beautiful illustration of the mixture between art and town planning: a surface of 3000 m2, creating an aesthetic effect of four cylindrical volumes intended to mask the flues ventilating, the exits of elevators and carparks becoming a sculptural work of art.
