Christo - wrapped threes

Christo (1935-2020) & Jeanne-Claude – Wrapped Trees, Beyeler Basel 1998 This rare offset lithograph from 1998 was published on the occasion of the Wrapped Trees project by Christo and Jeanne-Claude in the park of the Fondation Beyeler in Basel. The work depicts one of the characteristic interventions for which the artist duo became known worldwide: the temporary wrapping of natural or built elements in textiles to make the viewer look at the environment in a new way. In Wrapped Trees, the trees are completely enveloped in a light, transparent cloth, allowing their form, structure, and silhouette to remain visible in a surprising manner. By transforming the familiar appearance of the trees, Christo and Jeanne-Claude invite the viewer to reflect on the relationship between nature, space, and perception. Moreover, the temporary nature of such projects emphasizes the transience of art and the unique experience of the moment. This offset print is hand-signed by both Christo and Jeanne-Claude, which significantly increases its collector's value. With its dimensions of 84 x 57.5 cm and limited edition, the work constitutes a sought-after publication within the oeuvre of the artist duo. The poster combines the documentary function of an exhibition or project poster with the artistic appeal of an independent work of art.
