American pop artist Jeff Koons said recently he was "saddened" by the negative reaction in France to a controversial sculpture he had gifted to Paris after the 2015 terror attacks on the city.

Koons' 12m tall Bouquet Of Tulips will be inaugurated on Friday at a site near the Petit Palais museum that is partly obscured from view by trees, ending a four-year row over its location.
