The Graphic Art Gallery in Varna holds a valuable collection of 35 signed photographs and posters by the iconic artist duo Christo and Jeanne-Claude, dating from 1969 to 1984. The collection features images of their landmark projects such as the Wrapped Coast in Australia, Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin, Wrapped Pont Neuf in Paris, and others, captured by photographers Harry Shunk, Wolfgang Volz, and Jeanne-Claude herself.
Some of the photos were shown during a presentation of LIK’s June issue, dedicated to the pioneering artist Christo (1935–2020) and his wife Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon (1935–2009). The event is taking place concurrently at the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Centre in Gabrovo, North Central Bulgaria and BTA’s MaxiM Hall in Sofia as well as the BTA national press clubs across Bulgaria and abroad.
Velina Grebenska, acting director of the Varna gallery, highlighted the rarity and authenticity of the signed works, which have been exhibited previously in Varna and Burgas. She emphasized the duo’s artistic philosophy, explaining that their wrapping projects reveal new perspectives on familiar objects, symbolizing the transient nature of life’s moments like love and youth. The temporary art encourages viewers to pause, reflect, and deeply engage with the present experience.
