L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, 2021

Official postcard and fabric fragment, framed.

⸻

The set consists of an official postcard related to the L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped project and an authentic fragment of the fabric used for the monumental work carried out in Paris in 2021.

Last major intervention by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, this iconic project — conceived as early as the 1960s — consisted of wrapping the Arc de Triomphe with 25,000 m² of silver-blue polypropylene fabric held by red cords.

The fragment presented here constitutes a direct material relic of this major ephemeral work of contemporary art, now disappeared.
