Christo’s ambitious monumental project for Paris, L’ Arc de Triomphe Wrapped, is in process and will be on public view from September 18 to October 3, 2021
“It will be like a living object stimulated by the wind and reflecting the light,” as Christo described his dream project. “The folds will move and the monument’s surface will become sensual. People are going to want to touch the Arc de Triomphe.”
Christo and his wife Jeanne-Claude specialized in creating this kind of spectacular, monumental and ephemeral art installations in public spaces. The Arc de Triomphe Wrapped will become a reality 60 years after the artists conceived it. “I never though it would ever happen,” Christo said during one of his last interviews while under Covid-19 isolation not long before his death of natural causes at age 84 in May 2020. “But I want you to know that many of these projects can be built without me. Everything is already written.
