关于巴黎歌剧院(Palais Garnier)穹顶装饰的纠纷再次激化。19世纪艺术家Jules-Eugène Lenepveu原作天花板的后代Arnaud Carayon已指示律师准备提起诉讼,要求恢复这件被覆盖了60年的历史作品。1这场争议的根源在于1962年,法国文化部长André Malraux委托艺术家Marc Chagall创作新天花板,以取代Lenepveu的古典作品。Chagall用两年时间创作了24幅巨大的楔形彩色画布,覆盖了占地220平方米的穹顶。1
Carayon多次向法国总统Emmanuel Macron写信争取支持但未获回应,这促使他决定采取法律行动。1他指出,Lenepveu的原始天花板《The Muses and the Hours of Day and Night》自1923年被列为历史纪念碑以来,无人得睹其真容,其状况成谜。1巴黎歌剧院院长Alexander Neef承认,"关于Chagall天花板的辩论已经进行了60多年"。1值得注意的是,Chagall天花板从设计之初就是可拆卸的,可以不造成任何损伤地拆除。1
随着歌剧院计划在2027-2032年进行大规模翻新,这一争议面临新的转折点。1Carayon建议在翻新后交替展示两幅天花板各十年,为这场旷日持久的纠纷提供了一种折中方案。1
A decades-long dispute over the ceiling of Paris's Palais Garnier opera house is escalating into a courtroom battle. Arnaud Carayon, heir to 19th-century artist Jules-Eugène Lenepveu, has instructed lawyers to file a lawsuit demanding the restoration and display of his ancestor's original ceiling, which was covered in 1962 when culture minister André Malraux commissioned artist Marc Chagall to create a replacement 1. Carayon has written two letters to President Emmanuel Macron over the years seeking restoration of the original work, but has received no resolution, prompting the legal action 1.
The original Lenepveu ceiling, titled "The Muses and the Hours of Day and Night," was designated a historical monument in 1923 1. Chagall's replacement, completed over two years, consists of 24 massive wedge-shaped colored canvases covering 220 square meters of the dome 1. According to Carayon, the Lenepveu ceiling "was listed as a historical monument, but no one has seen it for 60 years, and we don't know what condition it's in" 1. The Chagall ceiling was designed to be removable and can be taken down without damage 1. As the Palais Garnier undergoes renovation planned for 2027 to 2032, Carayon has proposed alternating the display of both ceilings for ten-year periods 1. Palais Garnier director Alexander Neef acknowledged that "the debate about the Chagall ceiling has been going on for over 60 years" 1.
