Description from the seller

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



Consisting of an official postcard related to the project L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped and an authentic fragment of the fabric used for the monumental work realized in Paris in 2021.

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

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

– Descriptive label on the back
- Condition: very good condition
- Provenance: private collection
