Niki de Saint-Phalle - arbre de vie-fontaine

Tree of life,

fountain of serpents

Grand Palais

Niki de Saint-Phalle's mosaic fountain 

was placed in the center of François-Raoul Larche's 

Fontaine Miroir d'eau for the duration of  the Grand Palais exhibit.  

It is an interesting juxtaposition of the marble fountain created in 1910 

and the colorful serpent fountain of 1987.

The exhibit has been moved now to the Guggenheim Bilbao (Spain), 

February 27 - June 11, 2015.

There are other examples of her work in Paris.

Does this resemble the Stravinsky Fountain?

Église Saint-Merri - La Fontaine Stravinsky

Église Saint-Merri

The Stravinsky Fountain

The whimsy of 16 animated sculptures stands in contrast 

to the flying buttresses of this ancient church 

with its "Gothic Flamboyant" architectural style.

The fountain sculptures were installed in 1983...

The church built between 1500 and 1550...

Which of these two Paris landmarks will look the best in 200 years?
