Christo Javacheff (1935-2020) - L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped

Christo (1935–2020)
L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, 2021
Official postcard and fabric fragment, framed.

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

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

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