The Museum of Modern Art, Wrapped (Front), Project for New York, 1971
The Museum of Modern Art, Wrapped (Front), Project for New York is an offset lithograph on Rives BFK and Special Arjomari paper from the "(Some) Not Realized Projects" portfolio published in 1971. This striking print represents Christo and Jeanne-Claude's ambitious vision for transforming the facade of MoMA through their signature wrapping technique.
The lithograph exemplifies the artists' fascination with recontextualizing familiar architectural landmarks by temporarily altering their appearance and relationship to their surroundings. Hand-signed "Christo" and numbered XX/100 in pencil, this print is from a limited edition of only 100 examples. The portfolio documents several of the artists' unrealized conceptual projects that, despite never being executed at full scale, remain important works within their artistic legacy.
