Constantinos Valaes at Hôtel Plaza Athénée
A Garden of Gold in the Heart of Paris
EDEN gallery is delighted to present Constantinos Valaes at Hôtel Plaza Athénée, an exhibition set within the hotel’s celebrated inner courtyard on Avenue Montaigne.
Since October 21, 2026, his olive trees in bronze, silver and gold have taken their place beneath the ivy and the red awnings. A second garden, still and luminous, now answers the living one.
Rooted in the ancient Greek reverence for the olive tree, a symbol of peace, strength and continuity, each sculpture brings a piece of Greece to Paris. It is a quiet invitation to pause, to look closer, and to let the light do the rest.
On view from October 21 to November 12
Hôtel Plaza Athénée
25 avenue Montaigne, Paris 8e
