In 1961 first devised a plan to wrap the Arc de Triomphe in fabric.  That concept is finally to be realized next spring, when the 83-year-old Bulgaria-born artist will deploy nearly 270,000 square feet of blue recyclable polypropylene fabric and roughly 23,000 feet of red rope to wrap the Parisian landmark for two weeks. The artwork, titled l’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped (Project for Paris, Place de l’Étoile-Charles de Gaulle), will the artist’s most recent work in Paris since he and Jeanne-Claude wrapped the Pont-Neuf in 1985. 

As usual, Christo will finance the project through sales of preparatory studies, drawings, and collages and much of the labor will donated by volunteer workers. He will receive no public funds for the project, nor will he seek independent private funding.
