Lithograph-collage (Architectural Drawings by Pere Casajoana Architect).
Christo’s Wrapped Fountain exemplifies the artist’s enduring commitment to environmental transformation and ephemeral intervention. Characteristic of his collaborative practice with Jeanne-Claude, the work reframes a familiar public structure through the act of wrapping, rendering everyday form into an engagement of texture, volume, and perception. Rather than obscuring, the wrapping highlights—drawing attention to the tensile relationship between surface and space, public infrastructure and visual encounter. Wrapped Fountain operates as both a sculptural proposition and performative gesture, aligning with Christo’s broader oeuvre, which seeks to invite reconsideration of context, viewership, and the aesthetic potential of engineered form within the public sphere.
Edition structure, condition, and documentation have been verified according to recognized standards for editioned works.
