Why did Christo and Jeanne-Claude wrap things?

1 Answer
Why did Christo and Jeanne-Claude wrap things?
Christo and Jeanne-Claude wrapped things as a way of creating art. They took everyday objects and bound them in order to take away their functionality. In addition, they sought to preserve the items, similarly to the way the Ancient Egyptians did mummies. You'll find a variety of Christo and Jeanne-Claude art on 1stDibs.
