L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped

Saturday, September 18 - Sunday, October 3, 2021

CITYarts Founder, Executive & Creative Director Tsipi Ben-Haim will be on site at the opening in support of Christo & Jeanne-Claude, their studio, and their team as they realize this posthumous work. The artists were always strident supporters of CITYarts and its mission. CITYarts is returning that support in the best way we know how—by being present to celebrate their life, generosity, and creativity! We hope that you will join us.

From the website of Christo and Jeanne-Claude:

L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, a temporary artwork for Paris, will be on view for 16 days from Saturday, September 18 to Sunday, October 3, 2021. The project will be realized in partnership with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux and in coordination with the City of Paris. It also receives the support of the Centre Pompidou. The Arc de Triomphe will be wrapped in 25,000 square meters of recyclable polypropylene fabric in silvery blue, and with 3,000 meters of red rope.
