Perrotin and Grand Palais join forces for a treasure hunt of contemporary art

of a starfish, by Elmgreen & Dragset, call to mind their Place Vendôme takeover for FIAC in 2018; while a JR print evokes the photographer and street artist’s paper trompe l’oeil over the Louvre Pyramid last year. A quartz eroded bust of the goddess Diana by Daniel Arsham is a sure standout, as are Bharti Kher’sof gleaming red Murano glass beads.

While the Grand Palais has capped its capacity at 20% as a social distancing measure, and visits require prior appointment, the event is notably open to all and free of charge. Beyond engaging with contemporary art, ‘Wanted!’ is also a last-minute opportunity to experience the interior of the Grand Palais, before it closes in December for two years of renovations.Chris Dercon, the institution’s president, hopes that the programme will bring a sense of fun and whimsy, much like a treasure hunt.

For gallerist Emmanuel Perrotin, ‘Wanted!’ is uniquely suited to the times. ‘Since we don’t know where we are going, it is almost as if anything is possible: immense, adventurous, and unapologetic projects make us feel connected to the world in this moment,’ he says. ‘Works of art are more precious than ever, which is why it is important to offer them to as many people as possible.’ §© Pyramide, architecte I. M. Pei, musée du Louvre, Paris, France, 2019.
