Now the arch of Triumph suddenly appeared in a new image, completely wrapped in blue and silver cloth, originally to realize the wishes of the Bulgarian parcel art master Christo who passed away last year.

Born in Bulgaria in 1935, Christo is known for the art of wrapping public buildings. He moved to Paris in the 1960s to live near Napoleon’s Arc de Triomphe and has been trying to wrap one of France’s most iconic landmarks ever since. Among his works were “The Gate” in New York’s Central Park and wrapping the Reichstag. But when he died in May last year, leaving behind a sketch of the design for the Arc de Triomphe, he failed to fulfil his dream.

The plan to wrap the arch was conceived by Christo’s wife, Jeanne-Claude, and nephew, Vladimir Javacheff, with the support of the Pompidou Center and the French government, which fulfilled Christo’s last wish.

The war memorial arch, which took weeks of work and is wrapped in 25,000 square meters of silver-blue recyclable plastic, fulfills Christo’s dream of being a living object that is stimulated by the wind and reflects light.

This piece is a tribute to an artistic genius, a gift for all art lovers, and a revelation for the start of Paris Fashion Week.
