Lot description

Lithograph, vellum paper 105 x 81 cm; signed and numb. 37/60 in pencil.

Framed (not studied outside frame).

"If any building ever needed wrapping, it was Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art, a banal, one-story edifice (with a below-ground gallery) having about as much architectural charm as an old shoe box. Built in the early 1900s, it had once been a bakery and, later, the headquarters of Playboy Enterprises [...] The wrapping commenced on January 15, 1969 [...] Excerpt from the book Christo by David Bourdon [...]".
