The nave of the Grand Palais in Paris

Richard Serra tackles the architecture of the Grand Palais head on, playing with effects of gravity and weight to deploy his new installation within the space of the building's central nave. The technical means employed in the production of this unique work constitute a remarkable artistic feat in their own right. Minimalist yet majestic, Richard Serra's work plays on effects of contrast with the ethereal glass and steel architecture of the nave of the Grand Palais. A dialogue between the world's last great 'Crystal Palace' and a work of contemporary art cast in solid steel, expressive of a raw poetry bordering on the sublime.

All of the hospitality spaces within the Grand Palais are available for private hire, either separately or as a whole, enabling sponsors to organise functions at the heart of a truly historic contemporary art event.
