Bouquet of Tulips, Contemporary sculpture at Jardins des Champs-Élysées, France

The 41-foot-tall sculpture features eleven metal tulips held by a large hand, made from bronze, stainless steel, and aluminum materials.

The sculpture was installed in 2019 as a memorial gift from Jeff Koons to Paris following the 2015 and 2016 terrorist attacks.

The design incorporates references to French art, including floral elements inspired by Monet, Manet, and Picasso's Friendship Bouquet.

The monument stands between Petit Palais and Place de la Concorde, with private funding covering its 3.5 million euro construction cost.

The missing twelfth tulip in the arrangement represents the lives lost during the Paris attacks, while the remaining flowers symbolize renewal.
