MUSEE DU LOUVRE | BOOK

Louvre_Windows2345.jpgMadame Violaine Bouvet-Lanselle, responsible for all Louvre publications, informed me in the late afternoon of December 6th that the Director of the Louvre, Monsieur Henri Loyrette, had approved my concept for a book taking a completely different approach to the Louvre with the words "I love to do it". This meant that he had also approved the first photography project ever executed by the Louvre in collaboration with a photographer. Of course photography is used a lot in Louvre books, but only as a media to "transport" the works of art the Louvre museum is hosting. It will be different this time. The content of the project will only be released when the book will be presented to the public in early fall 2007. On the dates above, I will keep on working on the photographs with my assistant Sebastian Rosenberg and the support of Madame Catherine Belanger, Press Lady of the Musee du Louvre.
