1965, Newspaper, magazine, polythene and string in artist-made frame
Size : 56 × 46 × 5 cm
Signed and numbered on the label on the verso: Christo 20/100
This work is number 20 from a variable edition of 100, co-published by Édition MAT, Cologne and Galerie der Spiegel, Cologne. Only the first 56 copies were physically realized by the artist himself.
The present example is particularly significant due to its unique hand-applied collage of Brigitte Bardot, placed directly onto the Look magazine cover. This distinctive intervention transforms the work into a singular variant within the edition, underscoring Christo’s early exploration of mass media, celebrity imagery, and the act of concealment.
