In 1958, the Danish architect Jørn Utzon enlisted Le Corbusier to help with the decoration of his design for the iconic Sydney Opera House. The French architect and designer obliged, creating a massive wool tapestry titled The Dice are Cast. Upon its completion in 1959, the tapestry was delivered to Utzon’s home, but never made its way to the Opera House. Now, 58 years after its commission, the work has finally been hung in the architectural marvel it was created for.
