This print was produced as part of a portfolio dedicated to the German artist Joseph Beuys, which included works by thirty international artists. The photograph reproduced in the lower left corner of the print shows Beuys observing the installation of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s project 5600 Cubic Meter Package from 1968. After several unsuccessful attempts, Christo and Jeanne-Claude created the largest ever inflated structure without an interior skeleton. A pair of giant cranes helped to elevate the inflated air package to its eventual vertical position, as shown in the central image of this print.
