Descripción
The work of the Bulgarian-born artist Christo contains some of the most startling - and thought-provoking - innovations in art today. By presenting a wrapped-up object, such as a chair or bicycle - even a wrapped-up girl, or, by means of photo-montage, a wrapped-up skyscraper - he disrupts our normal relationship with these things and finds a new aesthetic potential in the packaged object. He relates art to the common materials of our present urban-industrial culture, without using those materials in a contrived way. Christo also disturbs our perceptual response with his replica shop-fronts. With their veiled windows and closed doors, these mysterious façades radiate suspense by concealing what lies behind them.
Since the early 1960s Christo has often extended the guiding principle of his art by working on a large scale.
In 1961 he held an exhibition in Milan which consisted of one huge package which almost filled the gallery. Later there followed the wrapping of buildings (including two at the Spoleto festival, and his project for the Empire State Building), and for the fourth 'Documenta' exhibition at Kassel he designed the vast, opaque, 280-foot-high '5600 cubic metres package', suspended in space by the air and by guy ropes. In these works, Christo establishes a new scale for art which matches the scale of the modern city.
He plans to get art on the new scale out of the project stage into the realm of objects and events.
The full scope of Christo's remarkable oeuvre is illustrated in this book. His aesthetic aims are lucidly explained in the text by Lawrence Alloway.
