This fall, Paris marks the 40th anniversary of The Pont Neuf Wrapped with a citywide tribute to Christo and Jeanne-Claude. The Christo and Jeanne-Claude Foundation, supported by the City of Paris, will stage a free outdoor exhibition along the Seine. Titled Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Paris Projects, the installation will highlight the couple’s close relationship with the French capital, where they lived, worked, and realized a series of landmark projects over several decades. The program also includes the naming of a public square in their honor, underscoring the city’s recognition of their enduring cultural impact.
Paris served as both the starting point and central site for Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s artistic collaborations. Their interventions included Wall of Oil Barrels — The Iron Curtain (1961–62), Wrapped Statue, Trocadero (1964), The Pont Neuf Wrapped (1975–85), and L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped (conceived in 1961, realized posthumously in 2021). Artist JR will revisit the Pont Neuf with a new project that will transform the iconic bridge into a stone-like cave for two weeks in September 2025.
