One of the limited special editions: Wrapped Book.
Taschen has just published the special edition of Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Floating Piers. I was overjoyed to be a part of the work of art, and now, to be a part of this beautiful publication as author. The book, like the work of art, is the product of Christo's physical work; he layed out all 846 pages. Also, like the work of art, the book incorporated a large team of talented professionals including Wolfgang Volz (the photographer), Germano Celant (author of the introductory essay), Vladimir Yavachev, Jonathan Henery, Marcella Ferrari, Patrick South, and the great team at Taschen.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude's artwork has always been funded by the artists themselves; there are no grants and no outside "sponsorship." They did this–and Christo continues to do this–to maintain their freedom of artistic expression. The book is released in much the same spirit: Christo will earn no proceeds from the sales of this book. It is simply a document meant to record for future generations the incredible dimensions of this sublime work of art.
