Look where this beautiful artwork is located, within the Sydney Opera House.

Le CorbusierLes Dés sont Jetés (1960)

Les Dés sont Jetés, which in English translates to The Die is Cast, is a tapestry designed by Le Corbusier, and made in wool by the weavers of the Aubusson workshops of Pinton Frères.

Originally woven at Pinton Frères workshop, Aubusson, France. It measures 3.6 metres wide by 2.18 metres high and is made from linen, wool and metallic thread.

The tapestry was commissioned by Jørn Utzon, principal architect of the Sydney Opera House, who wrote to Le Corbusier during the early, halcyon years of the project, when Utzon was contemplating the sorts of artworks that might adorn the interiors of the finished building.

But it would be another 55 years until the tapestry was situated at Sydney Opera House, as Utzon had originally intended, and where it can now be found today for all to see in the Western Foyers of the building.

In 2015, the Sydney Opera House Trust purchased Les Des sont Jetes at auction for over half a million dollars. Its acquisition was made possible by the support and generosity of a group of Sydney Opera House donors, led by the late Peter Weiss AO, and facilitated by the New South Wales Government. by @trickiah
