A photograph taken at dusk on September 16, 2021 shows a detail of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, wrapped in silver-blue fabric, as it was designed by late artist Christo. The 50-metre-high Arc de Triomphe in Paris has been wrapped in silvery-blue fabric as a posthumous tribute to Christo, who had dreamt of the project for decades. Bulgarian-born Christo, a longtime Paris resident, had plans for sheathing the imposing war memorial at the top of the Champs-Elysees while renting an apartment near it in the 1960s.
