3 offset lithographs by Christo framed behind plexiglass. Edition Christo 2001 Wolfgang Volz.
Large format 60x80.
2x offset prints for the project 'Over the River', Arkansas River, State of Colorado.
In 1996, Christo and Jeanne-Claude decided that the Arkansas River—specifically, the stretch of the river between Salida and Cañon City, on the eastern flank of the Rocky Mountains, where the banks were high enough—would be the perfect location for Over The River. Over a distance of 7 miles, the river would be spanned with transparent fabric panels, attached horizontally to steel cables anchored to the banks 23 feet above the water level. The artwork would be on view for only two weeks in the summer, with 27 months to build and another 3 months to dismantle. This temporary and ephemeral aspect is characteristic of Christo’s oeuvre and of land art, the art movement in which artists work in and with the landscape.
1x offset print for the project 'The Gates', Central Park, New York City.
The Gates by Christo Javacheff is a 2001 lithograph that offers a conceptual and visual representation of the famous installation in Central Park, New York City. The work depicts bright orange fabric panels hanging along a path, with the New York skyline buildings in the background. The upper portion of the artwork features a detailed map and structural annotations, highlighting Christo's meticulous planning process. The bold orange tones of the fabric contrast with the muted tones of the cityscape, symbolizing the artist's intention to create a dynamic, temporary transformation within the natural landscape of the park. The combination of design elements and urban decor reflects Christo's vision of art in harmony with public space.
