Description from the seller
Christo & Jeanne-Claude – “Wrapped Vespa” (1963/2001)
For sale is a fascinating and rare collectible from the world-renowned wrapping artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude: the large-format color offset motif “Wrapped Vespa.”
The motif is based on the historical original project from 1963–1964. It depicts the iconic Italian Vespa, masterfully wrapped in cloth and ropes. The object remains instantly recognizable in its typical silhouette, yet through the wrapping it gains a completely new, sculptural and mysterious aesthetic.
