Legendary artist duo Christo and Jeanne-Claude were lauded internationally for their large-scale site-specific installations. Born on the same day in Bulgaria and Morocco the pair met in Paris in the late 1950s. Meticulously planned, often taking years, their earliest installations focused on shop windows – often then produced at scale. The present work is a preparatory study for just such a piece.
Christo’s final project, the wrapping of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, is due to be completed posthumously in September 2021.
