“L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped!”
I feel so lucky to have witnessed the last installation of Christo and Jeanne-Claude at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The only way to describe my feeling in front of this installation was to capture it in my sketchbook. I spent 4 hours contemplating this over-scale gift.
Thanks Christo and Jeanne-Claude!
“I wanted to transform it, to turn it from an architectural object,
an object of inspiration for artists, to an art object itself.”
