Art Basel’s Post

🎬 #ArtBaselStories: With L’Orphelin, the Belgian artist Luc Tuymans sparks bewilderment among the masterpieces. 🎨 Invited by the Musée du Louvre’s Head of Contemporary Programs, Donatien Grau, to paint directly onto the walls of the world’s most visited museum, Tuymans chose the Rotonde Valentin de Boulogne. 🗓️ Titled L’Orphelin, or The Orphan (2024), the four-part painting will be washed away after a year, the walls restored to their original emptiness. 🖼️ The work not only offers a fresh lick of paint to the institution’s hallowed walls, but also a quick blast of bewilderment between hall after hall of tawny, timeless masterpieces. 📰 Discover the full story here: bit.ly/4cR9iY1
