Virgil Abloh on his Creative Connection with Christo

#virgilabloh #christo #arcdetriomphe
As Christo’s longstanding ambition to wrap the Arc de Triomphe is posthumously realised in Paris, designer Virgil Abloh explains how Christo’s conceptual art will inspire the next generation to believe anything is possible. Join Sotheby’s Simon Shaw in conversation with the Louis Vuitton artistic director as they discuss Sotheby’s upcoming selling exhibition of works telling the story of Christo’s six decade dream. The historic exhibition ‘The Final Christo: Original Works for the Arc de Triomphe’ will take place at Sotheby’s Paris (17 September - 3 October). Each work will be available for private sale with proceeds to benefit both the L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped project, and the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Foundation, established to safeguard the artists’ legacy for future generations.

Crazy to think in this interview he knew he only had a couple more months to live. Still gave it a 100 percent until the end. Fly high kingRIP

[@BielichDai]

strange to think this was only a few months ago, was he not doing chemo, since he still had a full beard? Lots of strange in this whole thing

@@BielichDai bro you must not know how cancer works and chemo etc😂🤦🏽‍♂️my dad has lung cancer stomach and throat cancer but he still has a full head of hair it just depends on whether what treatments or therapy the patient is going through not all stuff is chemo you can do immunotherapy, etc that aren’t as harsh on killing every cancerous sell etc.

*So sad and evil that the cure is out there but greedy pharma companies, clinics and hospitals make more money by treating it than curing it. They make more $$ off sick people remember that* *Chemo, radiology, and pharmaceuticals make it worst but they'll never tell you. Also, it's interesting how Dr Sebi had the cure but he mysteriously died... and isn't weird that nipsey hussle was working on a documentary about him and Look what happened to nip.. smh*

[@psalmueladekunle]

I don't know why guys in the comment section hate on Virgil so much, even going as far as using the word "Culture Vulture" this is a young man harnessing diverse and unending bifocal cultural interpretations through art. I love how he's able to blend in and bring a bit of everything together to create an original concept. He's so consistent that you have to know that he's a genius.

People who hate V were usually just low-key haters of his success. RIP

[@BielichDai]

I loved him, but it's a fact he did steal from many designers. He ripped off the entire Seventh Letter collective, which turned the entire street art movement against him. I think in context I can admire him for certain aspects of who he was while understanding there are some good reasons people hated that weren't imagined. It's a fact he stole art from people

[@raybp7512]

@@BielichDai I dont know the facts of this but we have to know when you are the head you have dozens and dozens of people under you trying to impress and working to tight deadlines and stress. Maybe we can blame him for approving and not knowing but we cant say he himself directly stole.
