A previously unpublished interview with Christo discussing his Arc de Triomphe wrapping project appears in artpress issue 492 from October 2021. The interview was conducted by Heinz-Norbert Jocks and spans pages 55-62 of the publication. This conversation provides direct insights from the artist about the monumental Parisian installation that was realized posthumously. Christo's ambitious project involved wrapping the historic monument in silvery blue fabric and red rope. The interview offers the artist's perspective on transforming this iconic Paris landmark through temporary artistic intervention. The Arc de Triomphe wrapping was completed in September 2021 after Christo's death in May 2020. This publication preserves Christo's thoughts about one of his final major projects. The interview represents a significant archival document about contemporary public art practice.
