LOUVRE AVEC VUES | BOOK

Ten days in Paris, no, ten days at the Musee du Louvre to finish up the work on the book project "Windows of the Louvre" now finally titeled "Louvre avec Vues". It was a phantastic time.
With the help of Madame Catherine Belanger who organized the work perfectly in close collaboration with Madame Francoise Cherdel-Sanon who took care of all security issues, with all the help of the firemen of the Louvre who made it possible for me to climb even to the most remote windows in the attic and with the help of my assistant Sebastian Rosenberg who is actually not an assistant, he is a photographer himself and a good friend, this giant undertaking did become true.
In an interview I did give to the author Madame Catherine Guignon who will write the text for the very first publication of this surprise project in the July/August issue of GEO France, we calculated how much we had to walk to see all rooms of the Louvre and visit all its windows, it was 500 (!) kilometers. Sebastian's and my shoes are worn out, almost got holes. Isn't this a project!
The negotiations of who is going to publish this book are almost finished too. There will be a powerful collaboration between Musee du Louvre, represented by Madame Violaine Bouvet-Lanselle, the famous publishing house La Martiniere, represented by Madame Brigitte Govignon and Edition Lammerhuber. The US rights will be with Abrams (owned by La Martiniere), the German rights will most likely go to Prestel.
