Vortrag
Beschreibung
Englischer Vortrag.Since the 1960s Christo and his wife Jeanne-Claude created living landscapes with the aid of fabric or umbrellas. Wrapping, veiling or encasing objects such as cans, bottles, boxes, a VW Beetle through to entire buildings, has always been their trademark. Interpretations of their art, however, they left to others. They never wrapped things beyond recognition, thus arousing the viewer’s curiosity. The viewer is intended see the things with their own eyes. Christo’s biographer David Bourdon describes their art as “revelation through concealment”.
