Carte blanche to Daniel Buren
Plantations, in situ works, 2026

In the summer of 2026, the museum grants carte blanche to artist Daniel Buren (born 1938). The reputation of this French contemporary artist extends far beyond national borders. He employs his distinctive visual motif: white and colored vertical stripes measuring 8.7 cm, in order to reveal and highlight the site and its context through in situ works.

Developed worldwide in public spaces, from early fly-posting interventions in the late 1960s to major public commissions, as well as in art institutions, museums and galleries, Buren’s in situ works engage with perspective, colour, space, light, movement…

For this carte blanche, Daniel Buren presents a new creation in dialogue with the museum’s garden and collections.

Curator: Cyrille Sciama, Director General of the Musée des impressionnismes Giverny, Chief Curator, and and Sylvie Patry, General Curator of Heritage at the Musée d’Orsay
