We live in a world saturated with images. They can be deeply personal or commoditized, produced and consumed ad infinitum. But for the internationally renowned artist Gerhard Richter, they attest to a monumental career that not only moves through a multitude of genres, but also transmits meaning from each and every surface.

Not to spoil the surprise, but the very first thing visitors encounter upon arriving to Virgil Abloh: The Codes at the Grand Palais in Paris is a recreation of Colette, which was often considered the most influential store in the world before it closed in 2017. There’s even a miniature white façade, accented with broad windows, signature blue awnings and the double dot logo, that people will pass to reach the wide selection of collectible merch and tchotchkes branded to the max.

Des années avant de devenir réalisatrice de films aussi iconiques que Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation, Marie-Antoinette ou Priscilla, Sofia Coppola a passé un été en stage chez Chanel, à Paris, grâce à celle qu’elle considère comme “l’une de ses tantes”, l’actrice Carole Bouquet.

Next Thursday night in Paris, after the final show on the haute couture schedule has ended, an altogether different show will take place at the Louvre. Jordan Roth will present Radical Acts of Unrelenting Beauty, a cycle of three live performances in which he uses fashion as a conduit for his impressions of the world’s largest museum.

As of this week, the second phase is complete enough that visitors will now arrive via the main entrance on the refurbished Square Jean Perrin, where allegorical statues adorning a fountain are gleaming white.

An extraordinary pilot program from the Virgil Abloh Foundation, Abloh Air was conceived to give 10 students with creative interests from underrepresented backgrounds in his hometown of Chicago the transformational opportunity to spend nine inspiring days in London and Paris.

Some 12 hours into constructing Notre-Dame from more than 4,300 Lego pieces, I finally arrived at the pinnacle: the soaring spire, or flèche, that became a defining feature of the cathedral in the 1860s, 700 years after the first stones were laid.

The 2024 LVMH Prize in Paris

The weather in Paris—sunny and warm, with a light breeze—could not have been more perfect for a swim. Until this morning, a dip in the Seine would have seemed unfathomable—but a little before 10 a.m., Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, made good on her pledge to take the plunge ahead of the Summer Olympics.

This was no typical tour of the Louvre. The instructions entailed sneakers, athletic attire, and an arrival time of 7:45 am, earlier than the opening of most boulangeries and well before tens of thousands of visitors typically descend on the world’s largest and most popular museum.
Some of us showed up in sweats, others in full-on gym ’fits. I couldn’t resist wearing a hoodie from the museum’s 2021 collaboration with Uniqlo designed by Peter Saville. No one knew what to expect, only that we h...

Throughout the Centre Pompidou’s permanent galleries, there are rooms entirely dedicated to major modern and contemporary artists: think Joseph Beuys, Victor Vasarely, Giuseppe Penone. And until 23 September 2024, Ronan Bouroullec.
Of course, Bouroullec is as much an industrial designer as a polyvalent artist, a prolific creator whose amorphous ink drawings and decorative ceramic wall structures suggest ongoing explorations of form and function.
