Javacheff Christo (1935 Gabrowo - 2020 New York) (F)
'Two lower Manhatten Wrapped Buildings', Farblithografie mit Collage (Kunststoff, Zwirn und Lageplan) auf Karton, 1980, 71 cm x 55,5 cm Blattmaß, signiert, 29/99 nummeriert, im Druck betitelt, NY City ortsbezeichnet, unter Plexiglaskasten montiert, Kanten partiell leicht aufgeworfen, Ränder leicht nachgedunkelt, kleiner oberflächlicher Papierabrieb, partiell leicht fleckig, Literatur: Wvz.

Der bulgarische Künstler Javacheff Christo ging nach seinem Studium an den Akademien in Sofia und Wien nach Paris und schloss sich dort dem 'Nouveau Réalisme' an. Ab 1958 verpackte er mit seiner Frau, Jeanne-Claude, Objekte. Durch überdimensionale Verpackungssituationen von Gebäuden, Landschaften oder sogar von Luft, wurden sie weltbekannt. Diese Aktionen wurden realisiert und von der Planung, über die Fertigstellung, bis zum Wiederabbau festgehalten und dokumentiert. Das Oeuvre umfasst dabei auch Zeichnungen, Grafiken, Objekte und Fotografien. Den dokumentarischen Charakter finden wir auch in dieser in Plexiglas gefassten Collage. Bestehend aus einer Farblithografie, dem passenden Lageplan der Aktion und der Verpackung durch den umgebundenen Zwirn. Zu sehen sind die Arbeiten des Künstlerduos in internationalen Galerien und Museen. So würdigt der Kunstpalast Düsseldorf aktuell das Schaffen Christos in einer umfassenden Ausstellung.




Javacheff Christo (1935 Gabrowo - 2020 New York) (F)
'Two lower Manhattan Wrapped Buildings', colour lithograph with collage (plastic, twine and site plan) on cardboard, 1980, 71 cm x 55,5 cm sheet dimension, signed, numbered 29/99, titled in print, NY City place-noted, mounted under Plexiglas box, edges slightly raised in places, margins slightly darkened, small superficial paper abrasion, slightly stained in places, literature: Wvz. Schellmann-Benecke 106.

The Bulgarian artist Javacheff Christo went to Paris after his studies at the academies in Sofia and Vienna and joined the 'Nouveau Réalisme' there. From 1958, he packaged objects with his wife, Jeanne-Claude. Through oversized packaging situations of buildings, landscapes or even air, they became world-famous. These actions were realised, recorded and documented from planning, through completion, to dismantling. The oeuvre also includes drawings, graphics, objects and photographs. The documentary character can also be found in this collage set in Plexiglas. Consisting of a colour lithograph, the matching site plan of the action and the wrapping by the twine tied around it. The works of the artist duo can be seen in international galleries and museums. The Kunstpalast Düsseldorf, for example, is currently honouring Christo's work in a comprehensive exhibition.
