AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Authentic sample of the orange fabric used for the monumental installation Valley Curtain by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, carried out in 1972 at Rifle Gap. This fragment comes directly from the spectacular work that deployed a massive textile curtain across the valley, suspended between two mountain slopes.

Framed with a map of the installation, this sample constitutes a rare and tangible piece of the duo's creative process, emblematic of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's early monumental interventions and the history of Land Art.
