Artwork location: Germany

The piece is a combination of print and collage. The Snoopy House is wrapped with real fabric and wrapped in fine twine. An admirer of the extraordinary wrapping illustrations of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Charles Schulz, the designer of Peanuts, paid tribute to the artists in a 1978 Peanuts comic by drawing the famous Snoopy doghouse wrapped in fabric.

Twenty-five years later, Christo paid him the compliment by designing the Wrapped Snoopy House, a life-size dog house made of tarpaulin, polyethylene and rope, and presenting it to Charles Schulz. As always with Christo, there was an accompanying graphic edition created as a collage with real fabric wrapping.

In Germany, packaging artist Christo Vladimiroff Javacheff made a name for himself with his Reichstag in Berlin in 1995. In France, it was the Pont-Neuf, which he wrapped in a golden silk sheet. In Paris, after 35 years, Christo seizes another building, the famous Arc de Triomphe. Christo had already planned the project in 1962 with his wife Jeanne-Claude. The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile was to be wrapped in 25,000 square meters of shimmering silver fabric. The project was never carried out. In the year 2020, the project was finally to be carried out posthumously, but this had to be postponed due to the Corona pandemic. The French government now wants to catch up with the packaging in honor of Christo from September 18 to October 3, 2021 at the Arc de Triomphe.

Sotheby's auction house set a new record for Christo in 2021. The “Unwrapped, Part I: The Hidden World of Christo and Jeanne-Claude” auction took place in Paris on February 17, 2021. The lots included several drawings by Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
Estimated between $ 241,000 and $ 361,400, the design depicting the Yellow Umbrellas placed on the hills of Tejon Pass north of Los Angeles turned out to be a highly sought-after image and sold to a bidder over the phone for around $ 2. .05 million dollars, an auction record. for the artist. The study of the same value of blue umbrellas on the Sato River north of Tokyo reached around $ 1.45 million.
