Synopsis
Christo and Jeanne-Claude have created some of the most visually breathtaking works of the 20th century. From early wrapped objects to monumental outdoor projects such as The Umbrellas Japan-U.S.A., 1984–91 and Wrapped Reichstag, Berlin, 1971–95, the Christos have used fabric—wrapped, draped, and folded over, around, and through natural and constructed forms—to transcend the traditional boundaries of painting, drawing, sculpture, and architecture. This stunning volume spanning the Christos' remarkable 40-year career accompanies an exhibition at the National Gallery of Art of works from the collection of Dorothy and Herbert Vogel, whose relationship with the artists dates to 1971. The wonderful breadth of works presented in color and discussed here include several early packages, preparatory drawings, models for large-scale public works in urban and rural sites, and photographs of the completed projects.

About the Author
Molly Donovan is assistant curator of modern and contemporary art at the National Gallery of Art.
From Booklist
The true nature of the artistic partnership behind the remarkable environmental art works credited solely to Christo until 1994 is dramatically parsed in Burt Chernow's excellent dual biography, Christo and Jeanne-Claude [BKL F 15 02], and now Donovan, a curator at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., provides a handsomely illustrated volume that documents and interprets the unprecedented achievements of this immensely creative and adventurous duo. The galvanizing private collection of Dorothy and Herbert Vogel (now part of the National Gallery of Art) is the book's wellspring, an extensive gathering of more than 30 years' worth of vibrant drawings and prismatic photographs that document the Christo team's spectacular and provocative projects. The first colorplate is a shimmering close-up of the fabric used to make the glorious Valley Curtain, constructed in Colorado in 1971-72. This launches a series of high-resolution swathes of various "wrapping" fabrics that effectively punctuates this altogether vivid mix of art and biographical and aesthetic discussion, which includes a scintillating interview with the already legendary Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
