"Dans les rues d'Athènes" in the garden of the second house of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning in Seillans 1975.

The sculpture "Dans les rues d'Athènes" stands in the garden of Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning's home in Seillans, 1975. Made of dark metal, its main rectangular body is topped with a square head featuring two indented eyes. A smaller, whimsical figure perches on one shoulder, while a stylized animal head protrudes from the lower torso. The piece is set against a textured wall covered in a dense, web-like pattern of bare vines.
