The Pont Neuf Wrapped, Project for Paris

A monumental vision of transformation, this offset lithograph captures Christo and Jeanne-Claude's ambitious proposal to envelop Paris's oldest bridge, the Pont Neuf, in flowing golden-ochre fabric. The work reflects the duo's signature practice of temporarily concealing familiar architectural landmarks to invite viewers to perceive them anew through shape, light, and texture. Rendered with meticulous detail, the print documents the artists' elaborate planning process, serving as both a preparatory study and an independent work of art in its own right.
