Sein, Sculpture in Poissy, France
Sein is a sculpture by César located in Poissy, France. It is a large-scale work representing a breast, made from a cast of a dancer's body and mounted on a metal base.
César created Sein in the mid-1960s, during a period when he was exploring casts of body parts. The sculpture was later installed in Poissy, where it remains today.
The work is part of César's series of human imprints, which also includes the famous Pouce. People often stop to take photos with it, and it has become a familiar landmark for those living nearby.
The sculpture is placed outdoors, so you can walk up to it at any time and look at it from different angles. Keep in mind that the surface may be slippery when it rains, and there is no fence around it.
The original cast was made from the breast of Victoria von Krupp, a dancer at the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris. César also made smaller versions of the work, including pendants and gold jewelry with a diamond as the nipple.
