People visiting Paris have until Thursday June 23rd to
experience Monumenta at the Grand Palais.
This year, the prestigious event will showcase the work of acclaimed London-based
sculptor Anish Kapoor, who returns to the French capital 30 years after his first
exhibition in the city.
Monumenta has been taking place in the Nave of the Grand Palais on an annual basis
since 2007, when German artist Anselm Kiefer was asked to fill the vast area with a
special installation.
According to the venue, the event offers "artistic interaction on an unparalleled
scale", as the featured artist is required to create a new work to fill a 35-metre
high space.
Kapoor's creation is entitled Leviathan and has been described by the sculptor as "a single object, a single form, a single colour".
"Visitors will be invited to walk inside the work, to immerse themselves in
colour," he said in a statement from the Grand Palais.
Admission to Monumenta is priced at €5 (£4.40) and €2.50 for concessions.
The Nave of the Grand Palais is open between 10:00 and 19:00 local time on
Wednesdays and Mondays. It is closed on Tuesdays, while Thursday to Sunday opening
times are 10:00 to 00:00.
