Louvre

"The Louvre Now Accepts the Living" by Amy Serafin in the New York Times.

"ON a recent Tuesday inside the Louvre, the German artist Anselm Kiefer was standing on a piece of scaffolding high in the air, relaying instructions to a group of men manipulating a crane. Carefully they hoisted a mound planted with a dozen atrophied aluminum sunflowers into an oversize niche in the wall.
The mound is part of a major art installation by Mr. Kiefer, the first permanent contribution to the Louvre’s décor since Georges Braque painted the ceiling of Henri II’s former antechamber in 1953. It goes on view Thursday in a stairwell linking the Egyptian and Mesopotamian antiquities in the museum’s Sully wing. "
