Christo
Wrapped Book
New York City, USA: Abrams Original Editions, 1973
30.5 x 28.6 x 3.5 cm.
Edition of 100 [+10 AP] signed and numbered copies
Handmade by the artist, this edition consists of a book Christo wrapped in canvas with twine. It was released in an edition of 100 signed and numbered copies, as well as ten artist proofs with roman numerals I to X.
According the Edition Schellmann catalogue raisonne, the work was created to help fund the publication of the book Christo by David Bourdon, published by Harry N. Abrams, New York.
Not to be confused with Wrapped Book Modern Art, from 1978, which was also created to fund a publication with Abrams books [see earlier post, here].
