Christo et Jeanne-Claude

Paris !

1st July 2020 - 19 October 2020

As of 1975, Christo and Jeanne-Claude developed the idea of wrapping the Pont-Neuf in Paris in a golden sandstone colored polyamide canvas which would cover the sides and the vaults of the bridge’s twelve arches, the parapets, the edges and the footpaths, its 44 lamps and the vertical walls of the central island, the Esplanade du Vert-Galant.

The major exhibition devoted to Christo and Jeanne Claude retraces the story of this project, from 1975 to 1985, and looks back at their Parisian period, between 1958 and 1964, before the wrapping of the Arc de Triomphe in 2021.
