Wrapped Champagne Bottle is one of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s most celebrated editions. Landfall Press, whose archive we represent, helped Christo develop the wrapping technique that allowed his 2-D artworks to have the same dimensional presence as his monumental wrapped projects on bridges, buildings, and waterways throughout the world.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude created this work in honor of the Landfall Press 30th anniversary. This edition we offer is LP 2/5, which means it is a Landfall Press work that Landfall kept in its archive. Thus, it embodies the deep friendship between the artists and master printer Jack Lemon, founder of Landfall Press.
