For 14 days in the summer of 1995, Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Wrapped Reichstag transformed the German parliament building into a sumptuous flow of silvery fabric. It was the completion of a 24-year-long artistic process, as much a tale of tenacity as of technical and imaginative genius. Through original documents, photographs, drawings,...
The projects of a wrap artist could not have been presented in a better way. The photography, artwork, the quality and tactile senses of the book are among the best, it is truly a great addition to the permanent collection.
Christo und Jeanne-Claude, der Mann mit der Brille und die Frau mit den roten Haaren. Das ungewöhnliche Künstlerpaar, das 1935 am selben Tag geboren wurde und bis zu Jeanne-Claudes Tod 2009 gemeinsam arbeitete, veränderte die Kunstwelt. In groß angelegten Aktionen verhüllten sie Gebäude und ganze Landschaften und enthüllten dabei deren Kern und Schönheit. Um diese gewaltigen Kunstwerke aus eigenen Mitteln finanzieren zu können, begleiteten Christo und Jeanne-Claude sie schon früh mit Editionen – Grafiken, Collagen und Objekten. Dieses umfassend überarbeitete, ergänzte und aktuelle Werkverzeichnis der Prints and Objects beweist die beeindruckende Bandbreite der beiden Verpackungskünstler und ihren Mut. Wer sonst käme auf die Idee, in der Wüste der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate einen 120 Meter hohen Pyramidenstumpf aus 410 000 Ölfässern errichten zu wollen?
This long-awaited new edition is expanded and completely revised, featuring 80 new photographs, some previously unpublished. Christo (1935-2020) and Jeanne-Claude (1935-2009) created breathtaking artworks that challenged traditional views of painting, sculpture, and architecture. This lavish photo book is the first comprehensive publication on their oeuvre since Christo's passing in May 2020. It also serves as a prelude to their final major project—the wrapping of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, scheduled for fall 2021. The book offers a wealth of photographs and studio snapshots from 1949 to 2020, including private images that provide an intimate look behind the scenes of their monumental installations, which captivated audiences for decades. Alongside images of the artists at work, it documents all their major projects. Matthias Koddenberg, an art historian and close friend of the artists, dedicated years to compiling over 300 images for this volume. These include contributions from companions and friends, as well as previously unpublished photographs from the artists' estate. Together, they narrate the extraordinary story of the couple's artistic collaboration and their five-decade-long partnership.
