Description

CHRISTO (1935–2020) Wool Bales Wrapped, 1969 Graphite drawing Signed and dated lower right ‘Christo 1969’. 92.7 x 126.3 cm Provenance: - Formerly in the collection of André Bernheim and Claude de Soria, Paris. - Meyer-Ellinger Gallery, Frankfurt, 1996. Note: - In 1969, Christo carried out a project entitled ‘Wrapped Old Bay’, commissioned by the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne. This project involved wrapping part of the gallery building in a huge piece of fabric, temporarily transforming the structure’s appearance. As in many of his works, Christo sought to transform the perception of places by wrapping them, creating a new interaction between the architecture, the environment and the viewer. This project perfectly illustrated the artistic approach of Christo and his wife Jeanne-Claude, which involved redefining spaces and sparking curiosity and contemplation in the public.
