Abstract

"Christo (born 1935) and Jeanne-Claude (1935–2009) have always compared their work to that of urban planners. And it is true that the projects they have carried out around the world since the 1960s not only have huge dimensions but are also at the center of public debates and disputes. The very fact that their projects are subject to approval by local authorities makes them sometimes resemble public construction projects more than works of art. For the first time, this book gives a comprehensive account of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s urban projects. It presents preparatory drawings, collages and models for many little-known works from the artists’ early career, some of which were never carried out, such as the planned wrapping of several New York City skyscrapers, as well as the spectacular large-scale projects of later years, such as the wrapping of the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris in 1985, the wrapping of the Reichstag building in Berlin in 1995 and the 2005 installation The Gates in New York’s Central Park. In two detailed essays, the authors of the book explore Christo’s extraordinary talent for drawing and investigate the artists’ ambivalent perspective on urban space, which oscillates between a powerful critique of the city’s impersonal modernism and a tribute to the liberal, democratic use of urban areas"--Publisher's website.

Abstract

This exhibition at the Centre Pompidou is the first presentation of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's work in a Parisian institution and promises to be a large-scale project. On one hand, it will feature works still unknown to the public - Cratères, Surfaces d'empaquetage, Boîtes - and, on the other hand, it will take a look back at all the stages in the development of an urban project that has left its mark on the collective memory: Le Pont Neuf, packed in 1985. A catalogue presenting unpublished documents and revealing the creative process at the origin of the artist's career.
