Sobre este artículo
(CHRISTO). Rubin, William S., David Bourdon & Lawrence Alloway. CHRISTO WRAPS THE MUSEUM. New York: Museum of Modern Art, 1968. First Edition. Small 8vo. Stapled Pictorial Wrappers. Artist Monograph. Near Fine. One 8 ½ x 14" cardstock sheet printed offset recto and verso machine-folded to make 4pp with an 8 x 35" sheet machine-folded in fifths to make 10pp, 10 b&w illustrations laid in. This is the slender fourteen page brochure cum exhibition catalogue issued by the Museum of Modern Art in conjunction with their 1968 exhibition "Christo Wraps the Museum: Scale Models, Photomontages, and Drawings for a Non-Event". The show presented preparatory materials generated for the artist's proposed wrapping of MoMA - a project that was ultimately abandoned due to safety and liability concerns. States the Museum's contemporaneous press release "As an artist functioning more in the realm of 'events' than in that of painting and sculpture, it is not surprising that Christo should have dreamed that it was time to wrap up the Museum, and for that matter the trees, the sculptures, and even some of the spectators in its garden. The Museum staff found this a potentially lively and poetically strange project. But the more practical heads of the fire department, police department, and insurance agencies prevailed. Nevertheless, we felt that our public would enjoy seeing the models, photomontages, and drawings that Christo had prepared as sketches for this event, an event that was to have signaled the closing of the exhibition "Dada, Surrealism, and Their Heritage". A handsome example of this graphically striking item that was the only printed documentation of the exhibition. Inventory Number: 027514
