Wrapped Vespa, 2009
Paper collage and digital pigment print on rag paper, with hand-made crayon additions, 31 x 31 cm (12¼ x 12¼ in). Edition of 200 (+ 30 H.C.), signed and numbered.
For this edition, Christo wrapped a Vespa in fabric, concealing its form while still keeping it recognizable. The graphic composition, complemented by a grid and notated dimensions, refers to Christo's precise working method and conceptual approach. The warm, textured brown tones of the wrapping material stand in exciting contrast to the bright red accents of the Vespa, creating a visual interplay between the hidden and the revealed. The work encourages reflection on transformation, mystery and the interrelationship between art and object.
