I don’t read French so I don’t know what this article says, but if I remember correctly there was an amusing irony attached to this installation. In the center of that pool of black gold was a real gold ingot worth tens of thousands, which was stolen. Probably not Riffifi style, but bold nevertheless considering Cartier’s no doubt extensive security. I liked to imagine that Gary did it himself. I’m sure the facts are online somewhere.
