1961, three years after meeting Jeanne-Claude in Paris, Christo
made a study of a mammoth project that would wrap one of the city's
most emblematic monuments. 60 years, 25,000 square meters of
recyclable fabric, and 3,000 meters of rope later, the artists'
vision finally came true. Discover their posthumous installation
with this book gathering photography, drawings, and a history of
the project's making. Like most of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's
work, L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped is temporary and runs for 16 days
from Saturday, September 18 to Sunday, October 3, 2021. Carried out
in close collaboration with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, the
historic structure is wrapped in recyclable polypropylene fabric in
silvery blue and recyclable red rope. The project is the posthumous
realisation of a long-held dream for Christo and Jeanne-Claude, who
first drew up plans to wrap the Arc de Triomphe in 1961 while
renting a small room near the monument. Published as a tribute to
the late artists and their lifelong partnership, the book includes
original sketches, technical data, and exclusive photography,
creating a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the genesis of
this prodigious artwork.
