The Welcoming Hands
This series of sculptures is close to my heart. I first saw one of them on a blog in 2007, soon after I came home from my first trip to Paris. When I returned last November I searched the Jardins des Tuileries but never found them. Luckily, my friend Peter located them and did a post and photographed them when he featured all of the Tuileries sculptures! When we met for our night shoot a few weeks ago, he took me to the very spot before it got dark. All I can say is that they are as beautiful as I had imagined . In my opinion, they are some of the most beautiful sculptures I have found in Paris. The artist , Louise Bourgeois, has created this amazing installation. I asked him to be my "model" so that you could get a sense of their size. If you are fortunate enough to visit the gardens , you will find them on the upper level overlooking the Place de la Condorde. I've changed my banner photo to give you a sense of where they are located. Merci Peter!
