Lot Description

SHUNK-KENDER HARRY SHUNK (GERMAN, 1924-2006) AND JÁNOS KENDER (HUNGARIAN, 1938-2009) THREE PHOTOS OF CHRISTO'S WRAPPED COAST, LITTLE BAY, AUSTRALIA

1969. Each with Shunk-Kender credit stamp and title (latter partially obscured by pulled-off tape) in blue ink on verso. Gelatin silver prints.
Images: two are approximately 7 5/8 x 10 in. (19.4 x 25.1cm) and one is 5 1/8 x 9 3/4 in. (13 x 24.8cm).
Sheet: 8 x 10 1/8 in. (20.3 x 25.7cm) each.

Shunk and Kender first shot Christo and Jeanne-Claude's wrapping of the Trocadéro in Paris (1964) then went on to photograph all of their subsequent site-specific projects. For this project, the artists worked with over 100 people for four weeks, wrapping one and a half miles of cliffs with one million square feet of fabric and 35 miles of rope.
