Paris: Paris visitors may be surprising when walking in the Champs-Elysees in September, when the Arc de Triomphe monument will be enveloped in glarkish wrapping in an overall installation by Christo artist.
Workers have established several scaffolds in about 50 meters, the 19th century Arch to regulate it for silvery blue plastic wrappers, can be recycled, which will be seen between September 18 and October 3.
Imagine last decade in 1961 by Bulgarian late artist, Christo and His wife and fellow Jeanne-Claude artist who died in 2009, “L’Arc de Triomphe, wrapped” finally turned on by Christo’s nephew, Vladimir Yavatchev.
“This only promised him.
Simple,” Yavatchev told Reuters, added that several years before his death in 2020, Christo, who spent a portion of his life in Paris and in New York, said one thing he wanted to do on everything was finishing this project.
Christo once rented a small room near the famous Champs-Elysees Avenue after moving to Paris in 1958, when he experimented with wrapping crates and barrels with cloth and rope, according to the official website about the artist.
Christo, whose full name is Christo Javacheff, is known for the larger installation of his life.
He wrapped a stretch of coastline in Australia and the Reichstag parliament building in Berlin, and cut a large curtain in the canyon in Colorado.
He worked with Jeanne-Claude on projects.
The couple included the Ponf Neuf Paris bridge in Yellow Fabric in 1985.
The Arc de Triomphe project, involving the most visited monuments in Paris which towered at one end of the Champs-Elysees, will still allow tourists to visit the panoramic site and terrace.
This monument is also home to awards to unknown soldiers, in the form of memory that is revived every day.
“Hopefully, Christo will be happiest, if someone looks at him and says ‘it looks like a picture’,” Yavatchev said.
