Le signal, Sculpture at MuMa Museum of Modern Art André Malraux, Le Havre, France
Le Signal features geometric shapes and abstract forms that create a strong visual impact against the museum's modern architecture and coastal setting.
Created by Henri-Georges Adam in 1961, Le Signal emerged during the reconstruction period of Le Havre following the extensive damage of World War II.
The sculpture represents a movement in French contemporary art that emphasized minimalist forms and innovative materials in public spaces during the 1960s.
The sculpture can be viewed during regular museum hours, with guided tours available that explain its artistic significance within the modern art collection.
Le Signal integrates with the surrounding maritime environment, creating different visual experiences as natural light changes throughout the day.
