Online - Modern and Contemporary Art (i.e. Chr. Javacheff) Christ Wrapped Bottle. 1958. colour offset on wove paper. 72.5 x 55 cm. Signed. - Sheet slightly creased in lower margin and with isolated pale spots. Overall very good and clean with brilliant impression in grainy, plastically associated effect. An early work by Christo that marks the beginning of his characteristic art of wrapping. In this phase, Christo began wrapping everyday objects such as bottles and cans with resin-soaked fabric, tying them up and then covering them with a mixture of glue, varnish and sand. This transformation rendered the original forms unrecognisable, removing the object from its function and turning it into an autonomous work of art. Colour offset on wove paper.
