The packaging of the Arc de Triomphe begins - Paris
The packaging of the Arc de Triomphe has started in Paris, France, on August 04, 2021. The famous Parisian monument will be wrapped of tissue for a few weeks this fall. Imagined by the artist Christo, the work will not prevent the public from visiting the monument. The inauguration is scheduled for next September. The Arc de Triomphe, an emblematic monument of the capital, will be covered with 25,000 square meters of bluish silver tissue. 3,000 meters of red rope will be needed to wrap it up. This project, which began on July 16, was designed by the Bulgarian artist Christo, who died last year at the age of 84 in New York. It is the Foundation of Vladimir Javacheff, nephew of Christo, which finances this site, thanks to the sale of works of Christo, in particular collages, preparatory drawings, models, lithographs.
