Work will begin next month on L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, a €14m installation at one of the world’s most recognised monuments. Like most of Christo’s work, it will be temporary. More than a year after Christo’s death, Paris is continuing the work of this great artist. If I do something, it will be to wrap the Arc de Triomphe, but nothing else. “I never imagined that this would happen.”The artist said he had barely 18 months to draw up the concrete details of the Arc de Triomphe project.
