WANTED! is a [high stakes scavenger hunt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-chase) set at Paris' Grand Palais. Owning artwork from an established artist is a dream for most consumers, but with incredibly high price points, it can be near impossible to imagine owning an original. This is all changing with a new event put on by the [Perrotin Gallery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claridges-hotel), in which the art establishment is hiding work from artists that include Takashi Murakami, Daniel Arsham.

The event was announced on [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-doubt-your-eyes), alongside a description that stated "20 artworks by Perrotin artists will be concealed in the empty nave of the Grand Palais. If you find one, you leave with it."

Registration for WANTED! has now closed, and the 20 participants have been selected.
