Paris Erects an Unlikely 'Christmas Tree'
Artist Paul McCarthy stretches the boundaries of art and political commentary in the public square.
Christmas is coming to Paris early this year!
Tree, a sculpture by the American artist Paul McCarthy, went up today in Place Vendôme. The sculpture is the centerpiece of the International Contemporary Art Fair (FIAC), which celebrated its 40th anniversary last year. Tree also coincides with the opening of "Chocolate Factory," the artist's first solo survey in France, which in turn coincides with the grand reopening of the Monnaie de Paris.
