One of my favourite Monte Carlo sculptures: the Bird Fountain is by the well-known illustrator, painter and sculptor, Jean-Michel Folon and stands in the Place du Casino, facing the casino itself. Born in Belgium in 1934, Folon died in the Principality in 2005. Take a look at this link to read more about this artist and see some of his fascinating work. Readers of the New Yorker will know of his almost surreal art.

whimsical sculpture-great photo!
What a fascinating character!
I know this photo is about the Bird Fountain, but I'm still stuck on the casino in front of it and I don't even gamble! :-D
Is that a balcony on the top of the casino? Can you go up there?
Lovely sculpture and great photo.
