Christo and Jeanne-Claude Ultrachrome Print
About the Item
Christo (1935, USA) and Jeanne-Claude (1935-2009, USA),
Documenta de Kassel, 1968,
Ultra-chrome print, 60 x 50 cm, N°4/12,
signed by Christo, Jeanne-Claude and the photographer Wolfang Volz.
On the occasion of the Documenta IV in 1968, in Kassel, Germany, Christo and Jeanne-Claude created the largest ever inflated structure without a skeleton.
After three unsuccessful at-tempts, it was erected on August 3th, 1968, with the assistance of five cranes, two of which were 230 feet (70 meters) high and weighed 200 tons each.
The pair of giant cranes, the tallest Europe had to offer, had been operating separately in Northern France in Hamburg, Germany.
It took two weeks just to make arrangements for both cranes to arrive simultaneously in Kassel, to elevate the inflated air package from its horizontal position on the ground to its vertical position.
The 7 ton air package consisted of an envelope made 21,528 square feet of Trevor fabric coated with PVC and tied with ropes. Air pressure was maintained by a centrifugal blower run by a variable-speed electric motor.
A gasoline generator stood by in case of power failure. All expenses of the project were born by Christo and Jeanne-Claude through the sale of original drawings, collages and early works of the fifties and sixties. The land was restored to its original condition.

- Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Wrapped Trees. Basel 1997–1998. Signed Book & PrintBy Wolfgang Volz, TASCHEN, Christo and Jeanne-ClaudeLocated in Los Angeles, CAFondation Beyeler and Berower Park, Riehen, Basel, Switzerland, 1997-1998 In Autumn 1998, after the trees around Fondation Beyeler and in the Berower Park had shed their leaves, Christo and Jeanne-Claude wrapped 162 trees—some up to 25 meters high—with 55,000 square meters of polyester fabric and 23 kilometers of rope. The effect of light and weather on the translucent material created a kind of amorphous sculptural choreography, an ever-changing variety of shapes, surfaces, and colors. The fabric, used every winter in Japan to protect trees from frost and heavy snow, lent the trees the appearance of precious and fragile objects. The Fondation Beyeler project was a pièce de résistance for Christo and Jeanne-Claude, and an extension and expansion of many years of interest in the concept of wrapped trees...Category
