Jean-Michel Othoniel Les Belles Danses : Versailles : In the Water Theater Grove Redesigned by Louis Benech
The gardens of the Palace of Versailles are graced with a permanent, site-specific installation, Les Belles Danses by Jean-Michel Othoniel, who won an international competition with the landscape designer Louis Benech to revitalize the Water Theater Grove. For this commission, Jean-Michel Othoniel created three fountain sculptures in gilded glass, inspired by the work of choreographer Raoul-Auger Feuillet, dancing master for the court of King Louis XIV.
