Commenter "can't wait for the Eiffel Tower to get the same treatment" as the Arc de Triomphe
In this week's comments update, readers are discussing the L'Arc de Triomphe Wrapped installation and debating other top stories.
The Arc de Triomphe monument in Paris has been covered by 25,000 square metres of silvery fabric as part of an installation by late artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
It fulfils the "life-long dream" of the artists, who were best known for wrapping famous buildings around the world.
"I'll wrap my garden table in it"
Commenters are divided. "Can't wait for the Eiffel Tower to get the same treatment," said Aigoual.
"I love it," continued Sim. "I am volunteering to adopt 10 square metres of the material for use in my garden. I'll wrap my garden table in it."
"I'd like to fulfil my 'life-long dream' and cover the Mona Lisa in bright red paint," replied Arhmatic. "It's true art, trust me. No worries, it's temporary, two weeks total. Will clean it all up... I am sure the long line of tourists waiting to see it would approve." "I feel sorry for anyone who may have travelled thousands of miles on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday to Paris with the intention of seeing the sights... and ended up seeing this!" concluded Colin.
Are you impressed by the installation" Join the discussion ?
