Christo and Jeanne-Claude met in 1958. They started working together with a shared philosophy of creating art that brings an immediate aesthetic impact to the viewer. They were famous for their large-scale, visually captivating, and ephemeral artworks, mostly involving landmarks or iconic monuments wrapped in fabric. After Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s deaths, their team continued to complete their in-progress projects. In its upcoming Wrap It Up auction, Bonhams will offer artworks by Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
The Floating Piers (Wrapped Book) by the artist duo is available for sale. Published by Taschen, the tarpaulin and twine-wrapped book is the 20th of a set of 20. A 1991 collotype and color silkscreen of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Wrapped Roman Sculptures, Project for Die Glyptothek, München is on offer as well. Bidders can also consider a printed edition of Surrounded Islands, Biscayne Bay, Greater Miami, Florida from 1993. To view the full catalog or to place a bid, visit Bonhams. This event runs alongside the opening of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped project. Find continued coverage on Auction Daily.
