Description
Exceptional and highly collectible original vintage exhibition poster featuring the architectural preparatory drawing for the historic "Wrapped Reichstag (Project for Der Deutsche Reichstag - Berlin)" by legendary environmental artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude. This particular large-format poster is uniquely desirable as it features Christo's authentic, bold hand-signature in black crayon/charcoal next to the printed signature and 1978 concept date in the lower right corner. The drawing intricately showcases the grid lines, technical dimension annotations ("high 40 meters", "130.75 meters"), and topographical location details characteristic of Christo's preparatory masterworks. - Artist: Christo and Jeanne-Claude - Title: Wrapped Reichstag (Project for Der Deutsche Reichstag - Berlin Platz der Republik) - Year of Concept/Design: 1978 - Medium: Offset lithograph exhibition poster on paper - Signature: Hand-signed by Christo in charcoal/crayon (lower right) - Sheet Size: Approximately 39" W x 25" H (100 cm x 64 cm) Good vintage condition. The graphic rendering remains sharp with rich, unfaded browns, blacks, and cream tones. The sheet exhibits some handling evidence, including soft rolling creases, minor edge wear, and a notable vertical crease line in the upper left quadrant. The reverse side shows light scattered foxing spots. These cosmetic imperfections do not affect the signature and will flatten out beautifully when professionally framed behind UV-protective glass. Please review all high-resolution photos for an accurate look at the condition.
