in the Grand Foyer.
Grimanesa Amorós is a Peruvian-born American multimedia creative whose work explores community connections intersecting history, technology, and architecture. Her keen understanding of structure enables her to create monumental sculptures incorporating various elements such as video, lighting, and electronic components to create immersive environments and connect the viewer to their surroundings. Technology compliments the concepts of her work without defining it—a medium of expression. She draws upon important cultural legacies for inspiration and presents societal issues like mental health. Grimanesa Amorós' artwork ties the past, present, and future—pushing viewers to think beyond and challenging their initial perceptions.

Art on Display: PERFECT TIMING by Grimanesa Amorós
This winter season, Printemps New York unveils an exciting new collaboration with Grimanesa Amorós, internationally renowned light sculpture artist known for her immersive installations exploring light, space, and perception.
The interactive installation, PERFECT TIMING, upholds Amorós’s ethos of composing light like music, shaping each sequence “note by note,” in her New York studio. The installation responds to the building’s architectural lines and Printemps Parisian heritage, bringing together history and urban energy.
The artwork universally transforms light and time into signals of language. The lights are a measure of time itself, a dance of pause and motion. Clients may be seen waiting with the signature Printemps shopping bag, hailing a yellow cab, or stopping at a red light, which is a vivid cycle of color that mirrors New York's vibrant atmosphere.
“Light connects us. PERFECT TIMING brings Paris and New York into conversation through rhythm, architecture, and anticipation,” says Amorós.
