This certainly makes it a Lichtenstein. Perhaps it was a temporary installation in Paris.

Thanks. I guess my photo is part of ephemeral Paris. This site has the sculpture in the same location, but it does not identify the location:

It is in a lobby or gallery in this bank, Caisse des Depots and Consignations. It is a Government owned bank. More in a minute.

So, here it is. Looks as if they had an architect’s branch. They did fund a lot of real estate Projects. It is a Lichtenstein. Did you see it there?

That's where I took the picture, but the information you provided at first seems to indicate that it is no longer there and I could not find it when Googling various versions of "Paris sculptures" whereas I did find the Dubuffet which is also at the same location. Thanks for alll the research.

It was leased for display in many places and ended up on the grounds of the Wallis Annenberg Museum in BeverlyHills. They were hoping to purchase it, but I do not know if they did. It is still there. I had a minor in Art History and, while I have not kept up, I still love researching art related things.
