Lieu dit

In Heuwaage you will quickly spot the bright sculpture Lieu dit by Basel artist Michael Grossert. 
It is a combination of painting and sculpture, tectonic and organic forms. In 1976, this was new and provocative for Basel. At the same time, though, the sculpture represented friendship between artists. When the piece was destroyed by vandals shortly after it had been revealed, friends painted the opulent object again from scratch.
