Function Object 3, 1967 21 1/2 x 15 x 7 1/2 in (54.6 x 38.1 x 19.1 cm)
This wrapped sculptural work by Christo exemplifies his signature technique of concealing ordinary objects in fabric and rope, transforming their identity and inviting viewers to contemplate form and materiality. The modest dimensions and three dimensional structure suggest a functional household item rendered mysterious through its concealment, reflecting the artist's interest in obscuring rather than revealing. Created during the height of his wrapped object series, this piece embodies Christo's conceptual approach to sculpture, where the packaging process itself becomes the artwork.
