Christo and Jeanne-Claude

Two Lower Manhattan Wrapped Buildings, Project for New York

Two Lower Manhattan Wrapped Buildings, Project for New York is a vibrant lithograph by the renowned artist duo Christo and Jeanne-Claude, combining bold colours with tactile collage elements of fabric, thread, and a city map to envision their monumental wrapping concept applied to the iconic Manhattan skyline. The work reflects the artists' signature practice of reimagining urban architecture through the act of concealment, inviting viewers to reconsider familiar structures by shrouding them in flowing material. Mounted on cardboard, the piece exists as both a detailed proposal and an independent work of art, capturing the ambitious scale and poetic tension between the hidden and the revealed that defined their legendary career.
