Christo & Jeanne-Claude: Wrapped/Unwrapped
Jan 26, 2008 - Jan 9, 2009
Featured from the Museum's Tom Golden Collection is a selection of works ‘wrapped and unwrapped’ by environmental artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude, including Wrapped Stapler (1993), and a barrel from The Koln Mastaba (1986). This exhibition is the third in a series of four groupings from the Museum's Tom Golden Collection.
This suite of selected works from the Tom Golden Collection, entitled Wrapped/Unwrapped features mundane and everyday objects, and preparatory works of objects; referencing Christo's early, non environmental work, dating back to the early 1960s.
Rotations from the Tom Golden Collection will be displayed on an ongoing basis. Themes of the land, wrapped architecture, objects wrapped and unwrapped, and the artists' process will be assembled concurrently. Acquiring the Tom Golden Collection has been one of the primary inspirations for the Museum's programmatic focus of Where Land Meets Art.
