Iris

Things to do at the Parc Public Art

The Iris sculpture was done in 1967 by Québec artist Raoul Hunter in conjunction with Expo 67, the world's fair.

The work consists of four curved elements made from pre-cut aluminium sheets. All of the concave surfaces converge towards each other, producing an enveloping effect.

In May, 2012, the work was restored and reinstalled at Parc Jean-Drapeau by the City of Montréal.
