Piece of the wrapping of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's "L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped".


Like most of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's work, L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped was temporary and ran 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 was 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.


This is a piece of that wrapping, given out on site by volunteers. 7x7cm
