About this work

This photo shows a long row of tall arches with white curtains draped across them. Behind the arches, there’s a building with a curved balcony and a few trees in the distance. The ground is paved in front, and the whole scene looks like a quiet courtyard. The artist added handwritten notes in pencil at the bottom, including the location: Milan. The curtains look like they’re wrapped tightly around the arches, almost like a temporary installation. Check out Christo to see how he turned everyday objects into art.
