Christo and Jeanne-Claude: In/Out Studio Launch at 192 Books

Edited and with text by Matthias Koddenberg, art historian and close friend of the artists, Christo and Jeanne-Claude: In/Out Studio is a remarkable book, a perfect combination of archival photographs, behind-the-scene views, drawings, collages, objects and an abundance of images that have never been published before, including unknown, lost, destroyed and early works, alongside the iconic monumental works for which they are best known. On Wednesday, April 1 at 7PM Christo will speak and sign copies of the book at 192 Books in Chelsea (192 10th Ave at 21st St). Images below are reproduced from the book.
