Arc de Triomphe Wrapped

In the 1960s, Christo and Jeanne-Claude started conceiving temporary artworks in public spaces. They wrapped numerous buildings such as the pont-neuf in Paris or the Reichstag in Berlin, but their true dream was the wrap the Arc the Triomphe. It will be done 60 years later.
