Christo (1935-2020) - Wrapped Vespa 1963/2001

Christo & Jeanne-Claude – “Wrapped Vespa” (1963/2001) For sale is a fascinating and rare collectible from the world-renowned wrapping artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude: the large-format color offset motif “Wrapped Vespa.” The motif is based on the historical original project from 1963–1964. It depicts the iconic Italian Vespa, masterfully wrapped in cloth and ropes. The object remains instantly recognizable in its typical silhouette, yet through the wrapping it gains a completely new, sculptural and mysterious aesthetic. This poster was issued in 2001 on the occasion of the groundbreaking exhibition “Early Works 1958–1969” at the renowned Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin. An absolute key piece for collectors of contemporary pop art, Land Art, as well as for lovers of Italian design and Vespa culture. • Artist: Christo (1935–2020) & Jeanne-Claude (1935–2009) • Motif: Wrapped Vespa (Project 1963–64) • Year of print: 2001 • Technique: Color offset on stiff poster board / handmade paper • Signature: Hand-signed by the artist Christo • Sheet size: approx. 59.5 x 84 cm • Publisher: Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin (2001) Shipping notes The artwork will be professionally and securely packed flat and shipped.
