    CHRISTO & JEANNE-CLAUDE: THE UMBRELLAS: JAPAN - USA 1984-1991 - DELUXE LIMITED SLIPCASED TWO VOLUME SET SIGNED BY THE ARTISTS

    (CHRISTO). Javacheff, Christo & Jeanne-Claude. Photographs by Wolfgang Volz. Koln, GERMANY & New York: Benedikt Taschen Verlag, 1998. First Edition 1/2500 Deluxe. Small Folio. Cloth in Slipcase. Artist Monograph. Fine/No Jackets - As Issued. 696 + 726pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Text in English, German and Japanese. Designed by Christo and Jeanne Claude. "In 1991, 1340 blue six meter umbrellas were assembled and erected throughout a narrow valley in rural Japan. 7000 yellow umbrellas were similarly prepared across the Pacific in a dry expanse of Californian land. After months of grueling process, the two countries united as the forest of umbrellas were opened simultaneously on both continents. The umbrellas were removed after two weeks, but the memories of this unrepeatable and transient endeavor have now been collected in this official book of documentation designed by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Thousands of photographs, plans, sketches, notes and a retrospective text provide the core source material, covering every stage of the project from inception to aftermath." A most handsome example of the two volume set housed in the publisher's pictorial slipcase NUMBERED AND SIGNED by Volz, Christo, and Jeanne-Claude containing swatches of both the blue and yellow umbrella fabrics bound in, in the publisher's printed cardboard shipping carton, as issued. PLEASE NOTE: Additional shipping costs are required for this item beyond our standard rates due to its weight and value - we will inform you of the applicable amount at time of purchase. 3-8228-7477-9 Inventory Number: 026505
