The Paris+ fever is in full swing! The Art Basel fair moves the capital with its extraordinary cultural programming. And for the occasion, numerous outdoor installations were scattered throughout Paris. And the best part is that all of them are accessible for free! Discover our five favorites.

1. Wave, the imposing statue of Urs Fischer at Place Vendôme

We already talked to you about it here. The Gagosian Gallery displays Wave, an aluminum statue more than 5 meters high created by Urs Fischer on Place Vendôme. The secret of this unique shape? It was shaped by the sculptor by hand, from small pieces of clay before being digitized and recreated on a larger scale. And what a result!
