A Series of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's "L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped" — Captured by Photographer Lorenzo Zandri
London-based photographer Lorenzo Zandri has captured a series of photographs of the art installation L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, by Christo and Jeanne-Claude in Paris.
"In 1961, three years after they met in Paris, Christo and Jeanne-Claude began creating works of art in public spaces. One of their projects was to wrap a public building. When he arrived in Paris, Christo rented a small room near the Arc de Triomphe and had been attracted by the monument ever since. In 1962, he made a photomontage of the Arc de Triomphe wrapped, seen from the Avenue Foch and, in 1988, a collage." 60 years later, after more than ten years the artist has passed away, his team has concretized the project as per his wishes.
This impressive project has been realized in collaboration with Centre des Monuments Nationaux, the City of Paris and the Centre Pompidou. The temporary artwork is on view until October 3, 2021.
