Poster details and artist background

1977 Christo Poster from Barcelona Gallery Art Exhibition, Wrapped Monument to Cristobal Colón (Project for Barcelona) ;- Measurments; 55 x 76 cm / 21.65 x 29.92 in. - Frame not Included. .Christo and Jeanne-Claude propose to wrap Barcelona's Fontana de Jujol, but soon abandon the idea and draw their attention to a more prominent landmark, the 60-meter-high monument to Cristobal Colón. In 1984, after having received two refusals, the Mayor of Barcelona, Pasqual Maragall, gives Christo and Jeanne-Claude permission to realize the project. However, because the idea of a Wrapped Monument is no longer in their hearts, Christo and Jeanne-Claude decide not to complete the project. ( thanks to christojeanneclaude.net )

Condition and edition

Listed sheet dimensions: 55 × 76 cm. No numerical condition grade is supplied. Please examine the photographs for this copy’s surface and edge wear. This is a poster showing an unrealized wrapping project; framing does not repair damage. No additional claim of a handwritten signature or numbered edition is introduced. Printed inscriptions are not treated as autographs.

Colors and interior styling

Warm gray, cream, charcoal and muted green lettering form the photographed palette. This poster could suit a minimalist study with natural oak or a Barcelona-focused gallery wall; a simple dark frame would suit the port imagery. Framing is a display suggestion, not a promise of an included frame.
