The work was based on a 4.3 cm high paper-weight of the Arc de Triomph bought back by a friend from Paris. This was the model for the work and was enlarged 100 times and built out of wet clay. It was at the same time Gigantic (compared to the model) and minute (compared to the Arc). During the period of exhibition the clay shrank and fell from the wooden sub-structure.
