Christo - Christo: Wrapped Pont Neuf Paris Image Wolfgang Volz Large Format

The motif of this art print by the French publisher Nouvelles Images SA Editeurs is the photo by Wolfgang Volz "Detail No. 9" of the "Wrapped Pont Neuf" project in Paris, realized by Christo and Jeanne-Claude.

On September 22, 1985, the Pont Neuf was wrapped by a group of professional workers. They used 41,800 square meters of fabric to cover the bridge. This included the sides and vaults of the twelve arches, the parapets, the sidewalks, the curbs, the street lamps and the vertical part of the embankment. The fabric was held with ropes and secured with steel chains. The project was financed solely by the artists, who sold their preparatory drawings and collages. The artwork remained standing for 14 days and was monitored 24 hours a day by 600 supervisors. The Pont Neuf is a historic bridge completed in the 17th century. It had undergone various changes before, but the wrapping gave the bridge a new expressiveness. The shapes and details of the bridge were emphasized while it continued to connect the districts of Paris.

It is a color offset print on light cardboard, approximately 68 cm wide and 67 cm high, published by Nouvelles Images SA, printed in France, see also printing imprint at the bottom.
