克里斯托和珍妮·克劳德的遗作，60年的酝酿

1961年，克里斯托（Christo）在巴黎遇到了珍妮·克劳德（Jeanne-Claude）。三年后，克里斯托研究了一个大型公共艺术项目：包裹巴黎最具象征意义的纪念碑凯旋门。60年后，25000平方米的可回收织物和3000米的绳子终于实现了他们的设想。

与克里斯托和珍妮·克劳德的大部分作品一样，这件“包裹凯旋门”也是暂时性的，展出从2021年9月18日星期六到10月3日星期日，持续16天。在与国家古迹中心的密切合作下，这个历史建筑用银蓝色的可回收聚丙烯织物和可回收红绳包裹起来。该项目是克里斯托和珍妮·克劳德长期以来的梦想，他们于1961年在凯旋门附近租了一个小房间，首次制定了包裹凯旋门的计划。

本书是为纪念这对已故艺术家和他们终生合作关系而出版的，书中包括原始草图、技术数据和**摄影作品，创造了一个引人入胜的幕后故事，展示了这一惊人艺术作品的起源。

Christo and Jeanne-Claude's posthumous work, 60 years in the making

1961, three years after meeting Jeanne-

Claude in Paris, Christo made a study of a mammoth project that would wrap one of the city’s most emblematic monuments. 60 years, 25,000 square meters of recyclable fabric, and 3,000 meters of rope later, the artists' vision finally came true. Discover their posthumous installation with this book gathering photography, drawings, and a history of the project's making.

Like most of Christo and Jeanne-

Claude's work, L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped is temporary and runs for 16 days from Saturday, September 18 to Sunday, October 3, 2021. Carried out in close collaboration with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, the historic structure is wrapped in recyclable polypropylene fabric in silvery blue and recyclable red rope. The project is the posthumous realisation of a long-held dream for Christo and Jeanne-

Claude, who first drew up plans to wrap the Arc de Triomphe in 1961 while renting a small room near the monument.

Published as a tribute to the late artists and their lifelong partnership, the book includes original sketches, technical data, and exclusive photography, creating a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the genesis of this prodigious artwork.
