Description

This video presentation for Sotheby's, titled Christo & Jeanne Claude Unwrapped, explores the life and workspace of renowned artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Simon Shaw, Vice Chairman of Global Fine Arts at Sotheby's, introduces the segment while seated outside the artists' historic New York SoHo building at 48 Howard Street. The video transitions through various architectural details, historical project footage including wrapped landmarks and public installations, and interior views of their living quarters and studio. Produced by Toby Jacobs, the piece offers a window into the creative environment where the iconic large-scale environmental artworks were conceived.
