Victor Noir's grave in Père - Lachaise cemetery by Patrick Magaud, 1984.
Noir is perhaps more famous for his death and grave than work.
He was a journalist who was shot dead; the grave consists of a full-sized bronze statue of the man laying down as if he was just shot.
The statue became a fertility symbol - the story says those who kiss the statue on the lips, leave a flower in Victor's hat and rub the genital area will find themselves with enhanced fertility, a great sex life or find a husband within one year. The lips and trousers' bulge on the grave are noticeably shiny from people kissing and rubbing them.
