CHRISTO (1935–2020)
Wool Bales Wrapped, 1969
Graphite drawing
Signed and dated lower right “Christo 1969.”
92.7 x 126.3 cm

Provenance:
- Formerly in the collection of André Bernheim and Claude de Soria, Paris.
- Meyer-Ellinger Gallery, Frankfurt, 1996.

Note:
- In 1969, Christo created a project titled “Wrapped Old Bay” for the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne. This project involved wrapping part of the gallery building in a massive piece of fabric, temporarily transforming the structure’s appearance.

As in many of his works, Christo sought to transform the perception of places by wrapping them, creating a new interaction between the architecture, the environment, and the viewer. This project perfectly illustrated the artistic approach of Christo and his wife Jeanne-Claude, which involved redefining spaces and sparking curiosity and contemplation in the public.
