Christo in Paris

Since the days of King Henry IV, Paris’s Pont Neuf has inspired artists. Now it is the focus of the environmental sculptor Christo – and the millions of Parisians who watch him create an astounding architectural poem from the oldest bridge in their city. Rich in political intrigue and artistic debate, “Christo in Paris” charts the fulfillment of the artist’s ten-year obsession: the wrapping of the Pont Nuef, the same bridge where he courted his wife, Jeanne-Claude. The result is a ravishingly beautiful tapestry of art and romance.
