TASCHEN COLLECTOR'S EDITION : CHRISTO AND JEANNE-CLAUDE. WRAPPED TREES. BASEL 1997-1998 - CHRISTO-JEANNE-CLAUDE

In Autumn 1998, Christo and Jeanne-Claude transformed 162 trees around Fondation Beyeler into a sculptural masterwork, wrapping them in 55,000 square meters of polyester fabric. It was the artists’ pièce de résistance in a long history of wrapping trees, and created an ever-changing panorama of form, texture, and color. This limited Art Edition, complete with print and swatch of the project fabric, traces the project story start to finish.
