Large wooden bird sitting on a pillar inside the shopping centre in La Défense.
The bird column by Claude Torricini can be found on the ground floor of Les 4 Temps shopping centre among large trees and other plants. Claude Torricini created her sculpture of a tucan in 1980, using mahagony wood.
Due to its size and location it is the focus of the area.
Since then, the area in the shopping centre has been re-developped and the statue and plants have been removed.
