Artist JR Transforms Paris's Pont Neuf Bridge into Giant Inflatable 'Cave'
French artist JR has enveloped Paris's historic Pont Neuf bridge in a massive inflatable structure titled 'La Caverne du Pont Neuf'. This artwork is a tribute to artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude and will be open to the public.
The Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris, vanished from sight overnight Thursday as French artist JR, dubbed the "French Banksy" began enveloping the historic structure in an inflatable giant cave.Β The artwork, "La Caverne du Pont Neuf", is a tribute to a Parisian artistic legend Christo and his wife, Jeanne-Claude, and will be open to the public on June 6.
