MME4068258: The Luxor Obelisk in Place de la Concorde view from the work Clara-Clara by Richard Serra. Installed in April 2008 in the Tuileries gardens at the time of the exhibition Monumenta at the Grand Palais. The gigantic steel sculpture has been illegally occupying the location since the month of November 2008. it was not created for the Tuileries, unlike the often repeated claims, but rather for an exhibition at Beaubourg in 1983. As the floor at the Centre Pompidou was too fragile to bear the weight of the 50 ton sculpture, it had then been presented in the gardens, arousing a controversy at the time. After being moved to a square in the 13th arrondissement, Clara-Clara had finally been relegated to a storage depot for art works belonging to the City of Paris. / Bridgeman Images
