'Christo made this edition to help fund the publication of the book Christo: Running Fence by Calvin Tomkins David Bourdon and Gianfranco Gorgoni published by Harry N. Abrams New York.' Schellmann 95 Christo began wrapping and packaging objects in the late 1950s. His early works made use of items from daily life such as books and boxes which he draped folded and bound in fabric. Later he collaborated with his wife Jeanne-Claude to wrap entire buildings and environments. While visually the folds of fabric in their works refer to classical forms from art history the process of wrapping relates more broadly to cultural practices of preserving shrouding and concealing. Also included is Schellmann's Christo Prints and Objects 1963-1987: A Catalogue Raisonné. Schellmann 95. New York, Abrams Original Editions; Abbeville Press, 1978; 1988. hardcover
