Mixed media: lithograph in colours and collage with transparent plastic, photograph, thread and staples on Arches Cover White mounted on cardboard, signed, dated and numbered in pencil 'Christo 85' (lower left), published by L.M. Ericsson, New Jersey; framed in a plexiglass box (edges reinforced with tape). Unexamined out of the frame, paper slightly discoloured in places, small dents in the upper and lower left corner, some light brown spots, else apparently in very good condition.
Literature: Schellmann, J. Christo and Jeanne-Claude: prints and objects: catalogue raisonneĢ 1963-2013. Berlin, Hatje Cantz Verlag, 2013, nr. 120
Notes: A common misunderstanding about the artist and his art: "It is totally idiotic to call Christo and Jeanne-Claude the "wrapping artists." So many works were not about wrapping: The Iron Curtain, 1961-62; Valley Curtain, 1970-72; Running Fence, 1972-76; Surrounded Islands, 1980-83; The Umbrellas, 1984-91; etc... Only three buildings were wrapped: The Kunsthalle, Berne, in 1968, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, in 1969 and the Reichstag, Berlin, in 1995 which is the third and last wrapped building, the project was first initiated in 1961 and then in 1971. In 1971, the Valley Curtain was already well underway, and was NOT a wrapping. The last time they had an idea of "wrapping" was in 1975 – The Pont Neuf Wrapped – but it took ten years to get permission. The "wrapping" is NOT at all the common denominator of the works. What is really the common denominator is the use of fabric, cloth, textile. Fragile, sensual and temporary materials which translate the temporary character of the works of art" (source: written by Jeanne-Claude in 1998, the artist's official website).
