French artist JR is transforming Paris’s Pont Neuf into a monumental cave-like installation titled La Caverne du Pont Neuf.

The temporary work wraps the city’s oldest bridge in a printed inflatable structure, turning the crossing into a rocky passage inspired by the limestone quarries that supplied the stone for old Paris. It also pays tribute to Christo and Jeanne-Claude, who famously wrapped the Pont Neuf in fabric in 1985.

Originally scheduled for June 6–28, 2026, the opening has been delayed after weather damage during installation — but once repaired, the work is expected to become one of Paris’s most talked-about public art events of the summer.

Pace Gallery, a mega gallery with seven locations worldwide, is laying off some 50 staff and dropping about 50 artists.⁠
⁠
In a statement to ARTnews Thursday, CEO Marc Glimcher said that the gallery will now focus its roster on 85 artists, after growing to 135 and will “continue to be a global gallery” with plans to “ground their programs in the character of the local art scene.”⁠
⁠
“Galleries need a model correction,” he said. “For Pace, this means returning to our roots, recentering and reasserting our historic mission: We’re going back to the future, connecting younger artists to their spiritual fathers and mothers, focusing on a group of around 80 artists, which represents an intergenerational mix of new and established artists and estates.”⁠
⁠
Artists removed include Richard Avedon, Nina Katchadourian, Hermann Nitsch, and Robert Rauschenberg, among others.⁠
