The show is part of Lee's expanding international presence, with his work also currently on view at the He Art Museum in China and Museum San in Korea.ObserverJR’s ‘La Caverne du Pont Neuf’ Is a Portal Into Paris’s Geologic HistoryArtist JR has unveiled 'La Caverne du Pont Neuf,' an immersive installation transforming Paris's oldest bridge into a multimedia grotto through June 28, 2025. The project, commissioned by the Fondation Christo et Jeanne-Claude and the Amicale des Ponts de Paris to mark the 40th anniversary of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's iconic bridge wrapping, emphasizes the bridge's geological origins—limestone quarries beneath Paris—while creating a dialogue between human history and geological time. Sound design was created by Thomas Bangalter, with a digital AR layer built by Snap's AR Studio, and Perrotin gallery is hosting a companion exhibition of sketches.The New York TimesA Very American Controversy at the Venicle BiennaleThe 2026 Venice Biennale U.S. Pavilion has become the centre of controversy due to its unconventional selection process under the Trump administration's State Department, which delayed applications, endured a 43-day government shutdown, and ultimately partnered with the newly formed American Arts Conservancy instead of established cultural institutions like MoMA or the Guggenheim. Artist Alma Allen, a Utah-born sculptor based in Mexico, was chosen with curator Jeffrey Uslip, who has a history of public disputes including a 2016 departure from the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis amid racism allegations over a Kelley Walker exhibition. The pavilion, costing under $2.5 million compared to over $5 million in 2024, has faced unprecedented pre-opening criticism, though Allen has since signed with gallery Perrotin after being dropped by his previous dealers.Los Angeles TimesHow a trip to Monet’s garden inspired Takashi Murakami’s new show in L.A.Takashi Murakami's new exhibition at Perrotin Los Angeles explores the artistic connection between Japanese ukiyo-e prints and European Impressionism, featuring 24 paintings inspired by his visit to Monet's Giverny gardens. The show represents a philosophical return to concrete artistic themes for Murakami after a period of feeling untethered from a meaningful movement. This cultural exhibition highlights a cyclical East-West artistic exchange through reinterpretations of both ukiyo-e and Impressionist master works.KoreatimesFrom cosmos to erasure, late Korean masters revisited at global galleriesSeveral international galleries in Seoul are showcasing exhibitions of late Korean masters. The White Cube Seoul exhibition features works by Rhee Seundja and Etel Adnan, exploring themes of exile and cosmos, while Perrotin highlights the final decade of Choi Byung-so's artistic practice.
