The Arc de Triomphe, one of the symbols of the French capital, was dressed in a silver outfit. Thus, the dream of the French artist Christo Yavashev was realized.
The master of land art, an art directly related to the landscape, conceived his unusual project of wrapping the Arc de Triomphe in fabric back in the 1960s.
In memory of the artist, the project worth 14 million euros was implemented by his relatives and friends through the sale of original works by Christo.
To create an art object, 25,000 square meters of silver-colored polypropylene fabric and 3,000 meters of red rope were used.
The Arc de Triomphe in Paris will stay in its white clothes until October 3. All this time, the capital's symbol will be available for visiting. The eternal flame in memory of the Unknown Soldier, located under the arches of the arch, will not be extinguished.
