Christo and Jeanne-Claude

Ericsson Display Monitor Unit 3111, Wrapped, Project for Personal Computer (S. 120)

This lithograph documents Christo and Jeanne-Claude's conceptual wrapping project applied to a modern computer monitor, demonstrating their signature practice of transforming everyday objects through concealment and packaging materials. The work combines multiple media including colored lithography, a photograph, twine, and plastic collage to create a layered representation of their artistic intervention. By elevating a utilitarian electronic device to the status of fine art through the wrapping process, the artists engage viewers in questions about value, visibility, and the transformation of ordinary items into objects of aesthetic contemplation.

Medium
Lithograph in colors with photograph, twine and plastic collage, on Arches Cover paper mounted to Museum board (as issued), the full sheet.
