The treasure hunt to win free works by Takashi Murakami and Daniel Arsham

«20 artworks by Perrotin artists will be concealed in the empty nave of the Grand Palais. If you find one, you leave with it».

It is with these words that Emanuel Perrotin, owner of the homonymous art gallery, announced on Instagram his new project developed in collaboration with the Grand Palais: a 48-hour scavenger hunt called Wanted! to be held between 23 and 24 October. Among the works of art that will be practically given to anyone who can find one are also works by Takashi Murakami, Daniel Arsham, Emily Mae Smith and JR.
