Beauty, Science And Art Will Always Triumph
Goodbye Christo.
“Christo lived his life to the fullest, not only dreaming up what seemed impossible but realizing it. Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s artwork brought people together in shared experiences across the globe, and their work lives on in our hearts and memories.”

Both Christo and Jeanne-Claude have always made clear that their artworks in progress will be continued also after their deaths. Per Christo’s wishes, ‘L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped’ in Paris, France, is still on track for September 18 – October 3, 2021.
