When Christo arrived in Paris in 1961, he was living in a small room near the Arc De Triomphe and, ever since, he has been attracted to the building. In 1962 he made a first draft of how it might have looked like wrapped and, in 1988, he made the first collage. Now, 60 years late, the project is coming to life.
For 16 days,
from 18th September to 3rd October 2021, the public will have the pleasure to see the work that the artists thought and designed 60 years ago in real life. In parallel to the installation, other events to celebrate the duo are organised in Europe: (from the website of the
foundation).
