Raymond Hains’ works are the subject of A Work Under Construction. From the Grand Louvre to the 3 Cartier, a solo exhibition at the Fondation Cartier, Paris. This installation brings together photographs taken by Hains on the construction site of the Grand Louvre renovation project (1981–1991), depicting hoardings, scaffolding, pipes and blocks of stone. First presented in 1994 at the Fondation Cartier’s Boulevard Raspail site, the exhibition is reimagined on Place du Palais-Royal, with further works presented at the Galerie Valois, Paris, until 4 October.
