JR au Louvre et le Secret de la Grande Pyramide, Diptyque - Paris, France, 2019

The lithograph was created by JRs studio with the help of the IDEM studio. 

These are a unique photographs taken at the end of the public opening and we can even see people about to take off the visuals. We used two pictures taken at the very same moment from two different points of view to create this beautiful and unique result.

For the 30th anniversary of the Louvre Pyramid, JR created a collaborative piece of art of the size of the Napoleon Court. Three years before, JR had made The Louvre disappear. 

Invited to intervene at the momument again, his priority this time was to get the community involved. JR put out a call for volunteers, and 400 people from all over the world came to participate in the project.

Together, they pasted 2,000 strips of paper, creating a gigantic collage that brought a new light to the famed monument.
