L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped - Project for Paris
25,000 sqm silvery blue fabric and 3,000 meters of red rope bring a long-prepared and large-scale wrapping project by Christo & Jeanne-Claude to life. As long ago as 1961 the artist couple had the idea to curtain the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Soon followed by studies, photographs, architectural models and collages.
Now, 60 years later, this wonderful idea is being realised.
One of the most emblematic monuments in France can be seen wrapped from September 18th to October 3rd.
