Description

Catalogue de l’exposition Christo et Jeanne Claude, Centre Pompidou, 2020

Catalog of the exhibition “Christo and Jeanne Claude. Paris!” organized at the Center Pompidou from July 1 to October 19, 2020. Under the direction of Sophie Duplaix. Editions of the Center Georges Pompidou. Limited edition box set including the exhibition catalog as well as a drawing of Pont Neuf signed and numbered by the artist. 

This exhibition at the Center Pompidou is the first presentation of the works of Christo and Jeanne-Claude in a Parisian institution and promises to be a large-scale project. It offers, on the one hand, works still unknown to the public – Craters, Packaging Surfaces, Boxes – and, on the other hand, a look back at all the stages of the development of the urban project that marked the collective memory: Le Pont Neuf, wrapped in 1985. The catalog presents unpublished documents and reveals the creative process at the origin of the artist’s career.
