polychromed bronze, stainless steel, and aluminum

1262 x 835 x 1038 cm
Inaugurated on October 4, 2019 in the gardens of the Champs-Élysées, Paris, Bouquet of Tulips was offered to the City of Paris in support from the American people to the Parisians and French people bereaved by the attacks of 2015 - 2016. Imagined by the artist as a symbol of remembrance, optimism and healing, Bouquet of Tulips is a monumental and unique sculpture. Symbolizing the act of offering, represented by the outstretched hand holding a bouquet of brightly-colored flowers, Bouquet of Tulips evokes the hand of the Statue of Liberty holding the torch, while it also has a dialogue with Pablo Picasso’s Friendship Bouquet.
