L.A. Louver is proud to announce Alison Saar has been chosen to produce a work of public art for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.

The sculpture is an initiative of Olympic Art Visions, through which the International Olympic Committee invites a renowned visual artist to create an original artwork inspired by sport and the Olympic values to be presented in a publicly accessible space in the city hosting the Games.

“I am deeply honoured to have been selected to create the Olympic sculpture. It is my hope that this work of art, a gift to the people and the city of Paris, will become a gathering space for the public to experience the spirit of friendship and interconnection across cultures and borders.” - Alison Saar

In the spirit of Paris 2024, her piece will focus on themes of international diversity, equality and the Olympic principle of promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity.
