A l'occasion du 40e anniversaire de la disparition de l'artiste, en 2003, une statue en bronze de Lisbeth Delisle représentant la silhouette fragile de la chanteuse, est installée sur la place Edith Piaf, tout près de l'hôpital Ténon, là où est née l'artiste. On l’y voit lever les bras et la tête vers le ciel comme si elle ouvrait son cœur au monde, selon la volonté de l’artiste.

Édith Giovanna Gassion dite Édith Piaf, née le 19 décembre 1915 à Paris et morte le 10 octobre 1963 à Grasse, est une chanteuse, parolière et actrice française.

Chanteuse à l'interprétation et la voix saisissantes, elle a inspiré de nombreux compositeurs, a été le mentor de jeunes artistes tels qu'Yves Montand, Charles Aznavour, Les Compagnons de la chanson, Georges Moustaki. Elle connait une renommée internationale, malgré une fin de carrière rendue difficile par de graves problèmes de santé et une mort survenue à 47 ans.
