Lazard Unveils New Art "Intervention" Atop Paris Office
In October 2023, Lazard was delighted to unveil a beautiful art "intervention" on the roof of the Paris office, created by renowned international artist Daniel Buren. The work, "Les Nuages Colorés" (Colorful Clouds), is located atop Lazard's building on Boulevard Haussmann, and is comprised of hundreds of vertical strips, alternately clear and colored, employing the use of color and transparency to creating a multitude of nuances, projections and reflections as the sun moves through the sky throughout the day.
