Christo began wrapping everyday objects in 1958, gradually extending his practice to architecture. His 1968 wrapping of the Kunsthalle Bern in Switzerland marked his first wrapped public building.
Published by manus presse in 1972, this complete portfolio of four prints traces the project from preparatory designs to its completed form. Combining screenprinting with collage elements, it brings together the planning, materials and visual impact of the intervention, serving both as an artwork in its own right and as a record of a significant early project in Christo’s career.
Presentation
Christo Vladimirov Javacheff was born in Bulgaria and studied fine arts in Sofia and Vienna before moving to Paris in 1958. There he met Jeanne-Claude, who became his muse and partner in exotic art. They married in 1962, moved to New York in 1964 and began making the ever-larger "environmental" artworks for which Christo became famous: wrapped fountains, bridges, buildings, and other public spaces.
Working with his wife and creative partner, Jeanne-Claude (Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon), he created some of the most spectacular large-scale artworks of the 20th century. They wrapped in fabric the Reichstag building in Berlin (1995) and the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris (1985), built a 25-mile fabric fence across Northern California (1975), and strung a huge orange curtain across a Colorado Valley (1972).
Their career (to date) culminated with "The Gates," which placed 7500 vinyl gates, with free-flowing orange nylon fabric panels, across 23 miles of Central Park walkways for 16 days in 2005.
Jeanne-Claude passed away on November 18, 2009 in New York.
Christo passed on May 31, 2020 in New York.
