One of the supreme pleasures of driving through Hollywood is gazing up at Kermit the Frog, who stands tall on top of the Jim Henson Studios gates, doffing his cap to passersby. The convivial statue on La Brea Avenue is one of Los Angeles' most beloved landmarks: both a nod to what happens behind those gates (up until recently, puppet hijinks) and an homage to the Hollywood history that built the place.

The monumental green figure of Kermit the Frog is set to soon take flight above the stately facades of Place Vendôme as part of the Art Basel Paris Public Program. From October 20th to 26th, 2025, Alex Da Corte's artwork will occupy the sky, transforming the historic square into an unlikely stage for a scene of comic melancholy. Presented by Sadie Coles HQ, the project takes the form of an enormous helium-filled inflatable, a towering, 19.75-meter-long effigy of the beloved Muppet icon.

Stay connected to your dreams - no matter how big, no matter how impossible they seem,' Kermit the Frog said during the school commencement ceremony Thursday.

I think the message of the song is that we're all unique and special, you know, and our differences that's what can make us all beautiful.
