Contemporary works of art

Point of view, by Tony Cragg

Three bronze columns 10 metres tall, setup at the city's east entrance. "Point of View" is the latest creation by U.K. artist Tony Cragg. Walk around the sinuous spirals and discover several silhouette shapes partially representing faces.

Close to the Antigone Area, at the east entrance of Montpellier.
