Christo (1935-2020) and jeanne Claude (1935-2009) - "wrapped Reichstag / project for Berlin" - 1990s

Zeldzame, in 1993, speciaal voor de solo expositie van fotograaf wolfgang Volz (1948- ) in het Kunsthaus Wien gemaakte offset druk "wrapped Reichstag / project for Berlin". Gesigneerd met zwarte stift door Christo (1935-2020) rechtsonder. Afmetingen 83x59cm. In zeer goede conditie "wrapped Reichstag / project for Berlin" Offset printing Sizes (83x59cm) Signed with black marker by the artist (right lower area) Provenance : marijke Vogtschmidt collection Not Framed Very good condition - bright vivid colouring. Christo Vladimirov Javacheff (1935–2020) and Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon (1935–2009), known as Christo and Jeanne-Claude, were artists noted for their large-scale, site-specific environmental installations, often large landmarks and landscape elements wrapped in fabric, including the Wrapped Reichstag, The Pont Neuf Wrapped, Running Fence in California, and The Gates in New York City's Central Park. Born in Bulgaria and Morocco, respectively, the pair met and married in Paris in the late 1950s. Originally working under Christo's name, they later credited their installations to both "Christo and Jeanne-Claude". Until his own death in 2020, Christo continued to plan and execute projects after Jeanne-Claude's death in 2009. Their work was typically large, visually impressive, and controversial, often taking years and sometimes decades of careful preparation – including technical solutions, political negotiation, permitting and environmental approval, hearings and public persuasion. The pair refused grants, scholarships, donations or public money, instead financing the work via the sale of their own artwork. Christo stated in 2018, “I studied Karl Marx in school and, though I may be anti-corporation, I am not anti-capitalist – in fact, we work closely with banks; Citibank, Credit Suisse, so many others #contemporaryinteriorsexclusive
