Le Pot doré, Contemporary sculpture at Centre Georges Pompidou, France
The golden pot sculpture rises 3.5 meters tall with a diameter expanding from 2.1 meters at its base to 3.92 meters at its summit.
Created in 1985 for the Cartier Foundation, the sculpture traveled to Berlin after the fall of the Wall and to Beijing in 1996.
The sculpture represents the transformation of an ordinary garden pot into a monumental work through its size and golden surface treatment.
Located on the sixth-floor terrace of Centre Pompidou, visitors can observe the sculpture while exploring the modern art collections.
The sculpture stands on a 10.40-meter white marble pedestal made from 84 plates of Thasos marble, elevating it above the museum visitors.
