Lithograph in colors and with collage of fabric, thread and city map on board. Signed in pencil and numbered. Literature:Schellmann/Benecke 106. Two Manhattan Wrapped Buildings, Project for New York (1980) by Christo and Jeanne-Claude is a conceptual collage envisioning the transformation of two iconic lower Manhattan skyscrapers—20 Exchange Place and a building at State Street and Broadway—through the duo’s hallmark method of wrapping. This mixed media work incorporates a color lithograph, actual fabric swatches, thread, and a detailed city map mounted on board. The upper portion features a panoramic rendering of the New York City skyline, where the two selected buildings appear shrouded in fabric, emphasizing volume, texture, and impermanence. Below, a red-lined city map anchors the proposal in its geographic context. The piece blends cartographic precision with artistic imagination, reflecting the artists’ lifelong fascination with public space and architectural intervention.

What is Postmodernism?
Postmodernism is an art movement that emerged as a reaction against authority and traditional boundaries, seeking to blur the lines between art and everyday life. It aimed to bridge the gap between the cultural elite and the general public by embracing eclectic mixtures of earlier conventions and styles. Postmodernist art often challenges established norms and celebrates diversity, irony, and pastiche, making it a movement that reflects the complexities of contemporary culture.
