"Observatory of Light," a temporary artwork by internationally acclaimed artist Daniel Buren, has been on display at the Fondation Louis Vuitton since May 11th.

Daniel Buren creates radical artworks using "visual tools," 8.7cm-wide vertical stripes in white and color. He painted from 1965 to 1967, but has since produced works that address space and its context.

This time, "Observatory of Light" features 12 "sails" made of 3,600 pieces of glass, arranged in a staggered pattern and covered with colored filters. The panels, with white and transparent stripes, are evenly spaced and installed vertically to the ground. The 13 selected colors appear and disappear, creating a chromatic form that constantly changes with the passage of the day and the seasons.

In addition, a Daniel Buren Design catalogue, co-authored with publisher Xavier Barral, has been published to coincide with the exhibition. The catalogue introduces works created between 1970 and the present day, based on intersecting themes such as color, transparency, light, translucency and projection.
