He was not caught when he stuck 10 up inside the Louvre; fear of arrest is why he first took a pseudonym -- his anonymity has since become an intrinsic part of his artistic identity; grew up in the suburbs of Paris; many love the artist's original concept; then there is his sheer tenacity: he has installed more than 4,000 pieces in 32 countries, including around 1,500 in Paris) |
