The Pont Neuf Wrapped, Paris 1975-85 Christo and Jeanne-Claude Description:  Bonn: Kunstmuseum, 1993, First Edition Exhibition Catalog.  Signed by Christo in brown crayon on front fly.

Includes a Biography, list of Exhibitions and Bibliography. Between September 22 and October 5, 1985, three million people visited Christo's wrapped Pont-Neuf. The Pont-Neuf is the oldest bridge in Paris, central to its culture and topography and Christo had been planning to wrap it since 1975. " On 9/22/85, 300 professional workers completed the temporary work using 450,000 sq. ft of fabric covering: The sides and vaults of the twelve arches, without hindering river traffic. The parapets down to the ground. The sidewalks and curbs (pedestrians walked on the fabric). All the street lamps on both sides of the bridge. The vertical part of the embankment of the western tip of the Île de la Cité. The Esplanade of the Vert-Galant. The fabric was restrained by 8 miles (13 kilometers) of rope and secured by 12.1 tons of steel chains encircling the base of each tower, 3.3 feet (1 meter) underwater. I Reference:  Christo’s Billowy Visions, Fleeting but Unforgettable -  The artist’s works were easy to grasp but hard to categorize, bringing conceptual art to the masses and generating no small measure of happiness and awe in the process. - By Michael Kimmelman, N Y Times, June 1, 2020 Christo, Artist Who Wrapped and Festooned on an Epic Scale, Dies at 84 - Mountains, museums, bridges and Central Park were just some of what he used to make astonishing and popular art with his wife and collaborator, Jeanne-Claude.  By William Grimes, May 31, 2020 The artist Saul Steinberg, a good friend, said of Christo, “He not only invented himself, he invented his art and, even more amazing, he invented his public.” Condition: Fine through-out with just the slightest hint of wear, now protected with a clear, archival sleeve. Clean, crisp illustrations are stunningly beautiful.  Additional Information:  Christo  Vladimirov Javacheff (1935–2020) and  Jeanne-Claude  Denat de Guillebon (1935–2009), known as Christo and Jeanne-Claude, were artists noted for their large-scale, site-specific environmental installations, often large landmarks and landscape elements wrapped in fabric, including the Wrapped Reichstag, The Pont Neuf Wrapped, Running Fence in California, and The Gates in New York City's Central Park. Born on the same day in Bulgaria and Morocco, respectively, the pair met and married in Paris in the late 1950s. Their work was typically large, visually impressive, and controversial, often taking years and sometimes decades of careful preparation – including technical solutions, political negotiation, permitting and environmental approval, hearings and public persuasion. The pair refused grants, scholarships, donations or public money, instead financing the work via the sale of their own artwork. Christo and Jean Claude described the myriad elements that brought the projects to fruition as integral to the artwork itself, and said their projects contained no deeper meaning than their immediate aesthetic impact; their purpose being simply for joy, beauty, and new ways of seeing the familiar. Until his own death, Christo continued to plan and execute projects after Jeanne-Claude's death in 2009.

Cavemodern was founded in 2005 as a home for important "modern" books and works on paper.

"Cave" meant a home for both the tangible touch of beautiful objects and a cozy virtual den for armchair exploration. "Modern" starts with the art and literature that went beyond realistic depictions to expressive use of color, non-traditional materials, and new techniques and mediums. Our focus has evolved to be on important pieces by cultural innovators that take their work in new, unexpected, and modern directions .
