| | | | Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Prints and ObjectsCatalogue RaisonnéEdited with text by Jörg Schellmann. Introduction by Matthias Koddenberg.
 An updated catalog of the smaller-scale works created by installation art’s most iconic duoThough born on the same day in 1935, artists Christo Vladimirov Javacheff (1935–2020) and Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon (1935–2009) did not cross paths until many years later in Paris. The seemingly fated couple married quickly and embarked on a decades-long artistic collaboration until Jeanne-Claude’s death, engaging creatively with the environment around them through site-specific installations that often enveloped buildings and entire landscapes with fabric and nylon. In order to fund their ambitious projects, Christo and Jeanne-Claude began making more salable items, such as prints, collages and objects, early on in their career. This volume is a completely revised and expanded catalogue raisonné of pieces that may have been made on a smaller scale but with no less creative fervor. This publication is a testament to a creative collaboration that never allowed convention to limit the scope of its activity.

| | FROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 7/15/2021 Maybe you love Christo and Jeanne-Claude, maybe you haven’t thought about them in a while. Either way, this vibrant, well photo-edited catalogue raisonnné of their prints, collages and objects is a superb reminder of what makes their work and their story so amazing. Pictured here is “Little Bay,” 1969, a photograph by Harry Shu of Christo directing work at “Wrapped Coast, One Million Square Feet, Little Bay, Sydney, Australia,” in 1968–69. “Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s projects could hardly be overlooked in their dimensions, and yet they were intangible,” Matthias Koddenberg writes. “They had no material value, belonged to no one, existed only for a brief moment. The drawings, collages, and above all the photographs that bear witness to the existence of the works of art are all the more important for those who have not themselves experienced the projects of Christo and Jeanne-Claude. They testify to a feeling of wonder, of marveling at what often seems commonplace and self-evident. With their interventions, Christo and Jeanne-Claude challenged our ideas of what is intimate and familiar. By giving a new visibility and palpable presence to objects, spaces, structures and entire landscapes that we tend to overlook because they seem well-known and commonplace to us, they refocused our minds on them. The subject of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s art is quite literally the world itself.” continue to blog | |  | HATJE CANTZISBN: 9783775748834
