The Gabriel Chandelier, first permanent installation of contemporary artwork in Versailles
Art & Architecture
For a start it's very 1990's so it's already out of fashion. Quelle horreur! For an artwork to be relevant it needs to be critical and by the very choice of its location it will be required to throw into question much of whatVersailles stands for. If it were astonishingly beautiful I personally may give it the time of day but in comparison to the calibre of the workmanshiop and the thousands of hours of labour, love and commitment by the artisans of the pieces alreadytrashed enough at Versailles, this is drap and banal. We do not need this patronising light. Have them take it away and I hope it does not represent what we are to expect in the future.
