The Arc de Triomphe is now entirely wrapped in iridescent fabric

Sixty years after Bulgarian-born artist Christo first envisioned covering the Arc de Triomphe in iridescent fabric, Paris’ historic monument is finally wrapped.

Artist duo Christo and Jeanne-Claude dedicated their lives to transforming urban spaces with their grand visions. They vowed their work would continue after their deaths and L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped is their first project realized posthumously by the artists’ team.
