限量艺术版发行20本(No. 41–60),每一本都有克里斯托的标号和签名,还随附一张签名版的“浮动码头(为意大利伊塞奥湖中央的圣保罗岛设计的一个项目)”多图拼贴画,55.9 x 35.5 cm (22 x 14 in.)。
保加利亚艺术家克里斯多和珍-克劳德在意大利的伊赛奥湖(Lake Iseo)上设计的水上走道,将湖上的三座岛连接在了一起,人们可以通过这些黄金大道去任意一座小岛。这条走道约有2英里长,是由22万块高聚乙烯立方体组成的模块化浮动码头系统,上面包裹着防水的黄色尼龙材质,拆卸之后还可以回收再利用。
克里斯多 说这是个身体力行的活动,鼓励人们一定要站上去,切实地走一走,感受一下。他认为这个项目的周围环境与它是分不开的,阳光,雨水和风都是这个整体的一部分,要享受这个行走的过程。这个被称为 “The Floating Piers” 的户外装置位于意大利的伦巴第,从2016年6月18日到7月3号一共接待了120万游客。
Limited Art Edition of 20 copies (No. 41–60), each numbered and signed by Christo, coming with signed collage multiple The Floating Piers (Project for Lake Iseo, Italy) San Paolo, 2017, 55.9 x 35.5 cm (22 x 14 in.).
From June 18 to July 3, 2016, 100 kilometers east of Milan and 200 kilometers west of Venice, The Floating Piers by Christo and Jeanne-Claude allowed 1.2 million people to walk on water. The project, comprising 100,000 square meters of shimmering saffron fabric above a modular floating dock system of 220,000 high-density polyethylene cubes created a three-kilometer walkway across the surface of Lake Iseo, connecting the mainland to the islands of Monte Isola and San Paolo.
“It is all about walking,” said Christo of the project. “Including the stretches on the land, you have to walk five kilometers to appreciate the project, the constantly changing views, the lake, the mountains, the other visitors. All these things together are the final artwork.” The experience was as tactile as it was visual, a multisensory wonder of undulating fabric, shimmering yellow, and ever-shifting light upon the water.
In this personal project book, signed and designed by Christo himself, the artist presents this extraordinary environmental work from start to finish. On 846 pages, he reveals the couple’s earliest concept of a floating surface on water back in 1970 through renewed interest in the project, research into possible locations, technical developments, material production, and the final 16-day experience with enraptured visitors from around the world.
This limited Art Edition combines the project book with a 24 x 24 cm swatch of the project’s original dahlia yellow fabric as well as the signed collage multiple The Floating Piers (Project for Lake Iseo, Italy) San Paolo, an oustanding example of Christo’s much coveted collage oeuvre. The rich mix media evocation of the Lago d'Iseo project showcases the central island of San Paolo and includes a photograph by Wolfgang Volz, silkscreen with relief varnish, fabric, masking tape, and cardstock featuring cartographic elements. Christo created only 75 copies of this artwork, 20 of which accompany this TASCHEN production.
