Abstract

L'exposition "Christo et Jeanne-Claude, Paris ! " au Centre Pompidou dévoile les oeuvres réalisées pendant les années parisiennes du couple d'artistes, de 1958 jusqu'à leur installation à New York en 1964. Cratères, Empaquetages et Barils sont les jalons méconnus qui précèdent le magistral Pont-Neuf empaqueté (1975-1985), dont l'histoire est retracée. S'appuyant sur des essais, une riche iconographie et une chronologie détaillée, le catalogue témoigne de la genèse de cette oeuvre hors du commun.

Abstract

Christo and Jeanne-Claude rank among the most popular artist couples of our time. They were unrivaled in breaking the art world's tight boundaries and arousing the enthusiasm of a broad public, across all social strata, for their spectacular shroudings of buildings and landscapes. The PalaisPopulaire presents the Jochheim Collection and traces the history of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's breath-taking large-scale projects; complemented by their rarely shown early works. Of course, the wrapping of the Reichstag takes center stage, which enabled all of Berlin to shine in a unique way 25 years ago. Exhibition: Ingrid & Thomas Jochheim Collection, PalaisPopulaire, Berlin, Germany (21.03. - 17.08.2020).

Abstract

"Christo (born 1935) and Jeanne-Claude (1935–2009) have always compared their work to that of urban planners. And it is true that the projects they have carried out around the world since the 1960s not only have huge dimensions but are also at the center of public debates and disputes. The very fact that their projects are subject to approval by local authorities makes them sometimes resemble public construction projects more than works of art. For the first time, this book gives a comprehensive account of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s urban projects. It presents preparatory drawings, collages and models for many little-known works from the artists’ early career, some of which were never carried out, such as the planned wrapping of several New York City skyscrapers, as well as the spectacular large-scale projects of later years, such as the wrapping of the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris in 1985, the wrapping of the Reichstag building in Berlin in 1995 and the 2005 installation The Gates in New York’s Central Park. In two detailed essays, the authors of the book explore Christo’s extraordinary talent for drawing and investigate the artists’ ambivalent perspective on urban space, which oscillates between a powerful critique of the city’s impersonal modernism and a tribute to the liberal, democratic use of urban areas"--Publisher's website.
