Tour aux figures, Monumental sculpture in Issy-les-Moulineaux, France.

The Tour aux Figures combines reinforced concrete, epoxy resins, polyurethane, plaster, cardboard, and metal to form an abstract structure with bright colors.

French artist Jean Dubuffet created this outdoor sculpture in 1985 as part of his exploration of non-traditional artistic expression through public installations.

The sculpture represents the post-war artistic movement that redefined public art by integrating unconventional materials and techniques into urban environments.

Located in the departmental park of Île Saint-Germain, the sculpture closes from October to March 2025, with advance school visits available through online booking.

The structure functions both as an artistic installation and a television tower, allowing visitors to explore its interior spaces and exterior formations.
