Six decades after their first encounter in Paris, Christo and Jeanne-Claude embarked on a monumental project that would envelop one of the city's most iconic landmarks. Their vision, which materialized after 25,000 square meters of recyclable fabric and 3,000 meters of rope, has finally come to fruition. This captivating book, featuring a collection of photographs, drawings, and a comprehensive history of the project's creation, delves into the posthumous installation of L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped.
Similar to their other artistic endeavors, L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped is a temporary installation, spanning 16 days from Saturday, September 18, to Sunday, October 3, 2021. Collaborating closely with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, the historic structure is meticulously wrapped in recyclable polypropylene fabric in shades of silvery blue and recyclable red rope. This project, the realization of a long-held dream for Christo and Jeanne-Claude, dates back to 1961, when they first conceived of wrapping the Arc de Triomphe while residing in a small room near the monument.
Published as a tribute to the late artists and their enduring partnership, this book offers a captivating behind-the-scenes glimpse into the genesis of this extraordinary artwork. Original sketches, technical data, and exclusive photography are included, providing a profound understanding of the artistic process and the immense dedication that went into bringing this vision to life.
L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped stands as a testament to the extraordinary creativity and collaborative spirit of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, two artists who left an indelible mark on the world of art. Their legacy continues to inspire and captivate audiences, reminding us of the power.
