Christo's wrapped Arc de Triomphe

When the artist known as Christo - famous for monumental projects that involved wrapping landmarks and landscapes in brilliant fabric - died in 2020, many doubted there would still be more of his spectacles to experience. But last week, the artist's nephews and studio manager teamed up to realize a long-planned dream of Christo and his late wife, Jeanne-Claude: the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, wrapped in colors emulating the French flag. Correspondent John Blackstone reports on what may be just the first of the couple's projects to be realized posthumously.

He wrapped one of our atolls in pink foam. We were so proud to be chosen for an artwork by Christo. It was like we had done it ourselves, we took such pride on it. I don't remember anyone denying it wasn't art, supposed there must have been, but among many artistic friends, there was never that whisper.

I met Christo and Jean Claude in 1994 when they came to my school to give a slide presentation. In a small room I sat next to him as he rocked nervously back and forth talking about a project he wanted to do in Central Park . 10 years later that project became the Gates. He was a pleasant person very different from many of the famous artists we had coming to talk to us, and his wife was funny because she was always finishing his sentences.

I guess it's shrouded in fabric, as a tribute to the late artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude - because they are more important than those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Why cover up all of those names? and the ($16.54 million) spent to do it. SMH.

Christo's Running Fence crossed my uncle's land in Petaluma back in 76. They had a few visits from Jeanne and Christo the year prior to seek permission. All land owners were paid to have their land used for the back drop and then when the fence came down any fabric/poles used on your property land owners were able to keep it.

Those who choose to invest the time and stop to ponder their reaction to such things may see/feel different things. It does not matter if it matches the artist’s intention(s) or vision(s). The value is in the pondering. Here, I love the shadows & highlights created when the sun is lower in the sky. I love the shimmer of the material. Simultaneously, I see a war monument covered, shroud-like, with rivulets of blood-red ropes that bring to mind the escaping life force running down the bodies of those soldiers or innocents maimed or killed for land/money/power/freedom. How do I define “art”? That which stirs something in me, be it thought or word-free feeling.
