It’s a temporary installation piece.
per wiki
Installation art is an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that often are site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space. Generally, the term is applied to interior spaces, whereas exterior interventions are often called public art, land art or intervention art; however, the boundaries between these terms overlap.

And here are two other of his famous paintings, Judith I (first) and The Kiss (second):
It's impossible to show how magnificent these last two Art Nouveau paintings are on computer, since they are done with actual gold leaf. To see them glowing with real gold in a museum is an amazing experience.
