It is one of the works of art in La Défense , France , an example of the series of works of the same name . The work is located next to the CNIT . It represents the author's thumb enlarged (1.85 m high). In this regard, he invokes his “narcissism” and the convenience offered by the immediate availability of the model. There are many reproductions of this sculpture, but the copy located Defense, up to 12 m , heavy 18 tons, is the most massive: Thumb Marble 6 meters high installed in 1981 in the city of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia , 6 m high bronze thumb made for the Seoul Olympics ( 1988 ) In 1965, the Claude-Bernard gallery in Paris commissioned César to produce a work for the exhibition "La Main de Rodin à Picasso". The sculptor, having discovered the principle of pantographic enlargement , made an imprint of his own thumb by means of a molding which he enlarged to 40 cm , but having little means at the time, it was made of translucent pink plastic. Faced with the success of the obviously symbolic phallic work, he decides to duplicate it in different sizes and materials 2 . La Défense commissioned one from him in 1989. Le Pouce was inaugurated on the forecourt of La Défense in 1994. In 2015, the statue was restored to regain its original appearance 3 . SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL:::::    / @defrancevlogs
