In one of the universities that I went to, there's a large sculpture of a traffic cone [1]. It's the result of a French law, the "1% artistique" [2] (artistic 1%). It says that for some type of public buildings, 1% of the budget must be used for art that fits into the buildings. Here is the article announcing the cone [3], however the link to the artist's old website is dead.
The artist is named "Lilian Bourgeat", you can find some of his sculpture by looking up his name. He has made other large objects.
