In 1989, a monumental sculpture by Etienne
Martin "Les terrasses de la Terre et de l'air" (The Earth
and Air Terraces). was erected on the Place du 1er Mai.
Clermont-Ferrand
showed a renewed interest in contemporary sculpture through
its Symposium of monumental sculptures which started in 1997.
Eight contemporary open air creations are displayed in various
parts of the town and now belong to the Clermont-Ferrand heritage.
These works of art signed by famous international sculptors have
been inspired by the history, the environment of Clermont-Ferrand
or the town itself.
