Christo in Herb & Dorothy 50X50 (2013)

Beginning with their small wrapped objects of 1958 and culminating with the wrapping of the Reichstag, this portrait examines the continuously bold and ambitious artistic ventures of the enigmatic duo, Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Neither permanent nor purchasable, large scale works, such as Running Fence and Wrapped Coast, exude the essence of freedom and exist only for the sake of existing.
