An auction listing for Christo and Jeanne-Claude's limited edition print 'The Pont-Neuf Wrapped' (1976-2020) has closed. The work is an archival digital print on wove paper, part of an edition of 450, accompanied by the exhibition book 'Christo et Jeanne-Claude Paris!'. The listing includes details on the artists' legacy, their monumental public projects like 'The Gates' and 'Wrapped Reichstag', and notes that similar works by Christo are available for purchase from various galleries.
This listing matters because it highlights the ongoing market for Christo and Jeanne-Claude's editioned works, which offer collectors access to the artists' iconic practice at a lower price point than their large-scale installations. The inclusion of the Artist Resale Right and the artists' high auction record of €1.7 million at Sotheby's in 2021 underscores the commercial value and institutional recognition of their work, which is held by major museums worldwide.
