Christo and Jeanne-Claude
Christo, 'Wrapped Paris Review', 1982

1982

About the Item

Artist: Christo (1935 - 2020) Title: Wrapped Paris Review Size: 36" x 24" inches Type: Lithograph Poster Hand Signed Christo was born in 1935 in Gabrova, Bulgaria. (He would drop his Javachef surname early on.) Christo studied at the Fine Arts Academy in Sofia (1953?56) before defecting to the West, via Prague, in 1957. That year, he spent one semester at the Akademie der Bildenden K?nste in Vienna. He moved to Paris in 1958 and met his future Jeanne-Claude. Inspired by Vladimir Tatlin's Constructivist edict "real materials in real space," Christo's first artworks, dating from 1958, consist of appropriated everyday objects such as bottles, cans, furniture, and oil drums wrapped in canvas, bundled in twine, and occasionally overlaid with automobile paint.In his solo work, Christo continues to conceive projects, some existing on paper only, in which found objects?from magazines, newspapers, and street signs, to nude female models, telephones, computers, and automobiles?are wrapped in fabric or plastic and then twined. These assemblages embody many of the themes Christo and Jeanne-Claude explored in their artistic partnership, among them the opposition between the familiar and the uncanny, the veiled and the exposed, the built and the natural environments, utility and futility, permanence and ephemerality.
