Buren's columns

2008.05.28







Friday April 18, 2008 in Paris
Daniel Buren (born March 25, 1938 in Boulogne-Billancourt) is a French conceptual artist.
In 1986 he created a 3,000 m² sculpture in the great courtyard of the Palais Royal, in Paris: "Les Deux Plateaux", more commonly referred to as the "Colonnes de Buren" ("Buren's Columns"). This provoked an intense debate over the integration of contemporary art and historic buildings.
Sometimes classified as an abstract minimalist he is known best for using regular, contrasting maxi stripes to integrate the visual surface and architectural space, notably historical, landmark architecture.

Madoc J'ai lu que ces colonnes allaient être restaurées à grands frais...Rien pour étouffer les protestations!!!

J'aime particulièrement la 2e et la 5e.

vollenda Awesome set. What I like most about it is how you show the people standing and sitting on them, that they've incorporated them into every day life.
