An artistic encounter on an ambitious scale, the annual Monumenta exhibition, from May 10 2012 to June 21 2012, invites a well-known contemporary artist to create a work especially for the huge space inside the glass-roofed nave of the Grand Palais in Paris.

An initiative of the French Ministry of Culture and Communication, the concept has proven hugely popular. The exhibition has so far featured Anselm Kiefer in 2007, Richard Serra in 2008, Christian Boltanski in 2010 and Anish Kapoor in 2011. The guest artist of 2012 is to be Daniel Buren.
