Our take

AI-drafted

This anthology gathers a hundred newly commissioned poems from writers worldwide, each responding to the Louvre, its galleries, or a single object inside them, translated from French, Dutch, German, Chinese, and other languages. What distinguishes it from a typical museum tie-in is the range: critics have noted how unpredictably it moves between reverence, comedy, and unease, including several poems that confront the museum's colonial acquisitions rather than skirting them. The book was named one of the New York Times' best art books of 2024.
