Christo *
(born in Gabrovo, Bulgaria in 1935 - lives and works in NY)
Surface d’Empaquetage, 1960, signed and dated Christo 60,
paint and lacquer on paper, 65 x 36 cm, framed
This work is registered at the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Archive.
We are grateful to Matthias Koddenberg for his kind assistance in cataloguing this work.
Provenance:
Private Collection, Switzerland
From 1958 onwards, Christo created a series of works that saw him give fabric or paper a relief-type surface by crumpling the upper layers, fixing them and ultimately coating them with varnish. He titled this series ‘Surface d’Empaquetage’. The coarsely worked, sometimes cracked surfaces and the sand particles in the varnish give the works of art a ‘shabby’ effect, thus anticipating the character of his early ‘packaging’.
