Whitney Museum of American Art, Packed, Project for New York, 1971
Whitney Museum of American Art, Packed, 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 impressive print showcases Christo and Jeanne-Claude's visionary approach to environmental art and architectural intervention, representing their conceptual plan for transforming the Whitney Museum through their distinctive packing technique.
The lithograph beautifully captures the artists' intention to temporarily alter the building's appearance and relationship to its urban 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.
An example of this work has sold at auction for over $10,000 USD.
