Description
An exhibition of works by Christo, and a large-scale indoor installation conceived by Christo and Jeanne-Claude in 1968, is on view at Gagosian, Grosvenor Hill, London, through August 21. Archival materials—including the original 1968 model of "Air Package on a Ceiling (Project for the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia)," preparatory drawings, and collages—are presented alongside the installation, offering insights into the evolution of the project from a freestanding, balloon-like form to its final, hanging configuration. The second gallery is devoted to "Wrapped Automobile—Volvo, Model PV-544" (1981), which has not been exhibited for thirty years.
