Claire Tabouret Wins Competition to Create Contemporary Stained Glass for Notre-Dame
Claire Tabouret will create new stained glass windows for Notre-Dame in Paris, with installation planned by late 2026. Her selection resulted from a competition organized by the French Ministry of Culture, evaluated by a 20-member artistic committee. The artist will collaborate with the historic glassmaking studio Simon-Marq, founded in 1640. This commission represents a significant contemporary intervention in the cathedral's restoration following the 2019 fire.
