About this work
Overview
Christo's 1976 print combines lithograph, screenprint, and collage elements, featuring a monumental, slanted pyramid enveloped in vibrant orange and blue fabric, set amidst a desolate landscape with train tracks.
Subject & Meaning
The subject, a pyramid wrapped in geometric, colored fabric, may allude to Christo's signature large-scale, site-specific installations. The surrounding barren terrain and train tracks imply a remote, possibly industrial or transitional setting.
Technique & Style
The work showcases a hybrid printing approach: lithography for base elements, screenprint for bold colors, and collage for added texture. The fuzzy edges of the pyramid suggest an emphasis on the materiality of the wrapping.
History & Provenance
Created in 1976, the print is part of a diverse portfolio and is currently held in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).
