A monumental sculpture in epoxy resin and iron frame painted black and white, Le Boqueteau de 7 arbres by Jean Dubuffet anchors Flaine Forum's identity as an artistic ski resort.
Dominating the forum since 1988, this work is a gift from the Scaler Foundation, a deposit of the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre George Pompidou. These "trees" were named by Marcel Breuer "Le Papillon, le Bulbe, Le Grand Lobé, L'Antenne, l'Infléchi, l'Arbre déploiement plane et le Soleil" and blend insidiously with the surrounding nature.
