Burning Man’s “Broken” Eiffel Tower Sculpture Heads To Auction for $500K But Then Plans Change
A broken Eiffel Tower is leaving the Nevada desert and heading to the auction block. French artist Philippe Maindron created Eiffela Broken Dream for Burning Man 2026. The 30-ton steel sculpture towers 15 meters (almost 50 feet) high and stretches 30 meters (nearly 99 feet) long. Just days after the festival ended, Rouillac planned to offer the monumental work at auction in Paris on September 14. Bidding would start at €435,000, or roughly $500,000.
