what type of material is the wrapping? textile?

[@javierjimenez7758]

fornite

[@bumbleplanettv4060]

Plastic

[@ExurgentNight]

Christo and Jeanne-Claude used nylon for most of their work. Not sure if that's the case here, but I'm pretty sure it would be a fabric, not plastic. They were very considerate of the environment.

[@eltfell]

Textile made from polypropylene, coated ("steamed") with aluminium.

[@TaylorMade511]

Where does he get the money to do these?!!

[@SalvadorDali22]

TaylorJ ∆ By selling concept sketches and image rights.

[@ExurgentNight]

"As with all artists, those drawings are sold by the artist’s art dealer - in the case of Christo’s drawings, Christo and Jeanne-Claude are their own art dealers. They sell to museums, art collectors, art dealers and galleries, through the corporation which was created to build the projects. *The money coming from the sale of Christo’s original works of art is used to pay all the expenses of the preparation, completion, maintenance and removal* - not only there is no profit, there is not even money back. It is just like bringing up a child. Christo and Jeanne-Claude do NOT sell T-shirts, postcards, posters, photographs and they receive NO royalties on the sale of any of these." -christojeanneclaude.net/common-errors

[@ExurgentNight]

They also did painting and other smaller works of art that were for sale.

Where do you get all this money to implement your artistic projects??!! What do you gain to compensate for this loss?

[@drewsquickfix]

RIP to this guy but I see this as more of a publicity stunt not art. Anyone can cover a building. Just looks like construction or termite control lol

[@jonathanlevine8497]

"Anyone can cover a building". Not like this, they can't.

[@drewsquickfix]

I just can't figure out how this guy made a living??? This is not art he can sell . It's just an ego thing

[@jonathanlevine8497]

@@drewsquickfix And that's the beauty of it - the more it can be disconnected from commerce, the purer the art can be. Performance art is like that, as is this kind of temporary environmental installation. He was a hard-working artist, and did a lot of drawings and preparatory work for many years leading up his installations. It was the sales of those works that funded the final work and, obviously, their living.

This is not art it is fabric thrown on something anyone can do that if they had the money.

[@jonathanlevine8497]

This goes *way* beyond money.

[@jerryboblett3083]

How do you figure? A child could put glitter on it and it can be considered art. The guy is eccentric don’t you think that any number of people could look at something and say hey that would be cool if I could cover it in something if I had the MONEY!!!!!!!! I might do that or🤔do something that is more useful with it.

[@jonathanlevine8497]

@@jerryboblett3083 Eccentric? Nah, not even close. I've worked with artists who are *way* more whacked-out than Christo. He had a very clear vision from early on (as in "sixty years ago") about what he wanted to do and why, and over those years he cultivated the skills needed to execute that vision to an amazing degree. Artistic intent is rather more complex and developed than squirting glitter and "hey that would be cool".

[@jerryboblett3083]

I have a few more ideas how about elbow noodles, or colorful marbles.

[@jonathanlevine8497]

@@jerryboblett3083 And if you can not only conceive of - but execute - the covering of any significant historical structure with elbow macaroni, I'll consider your status as an artist too.

[@ninenikiboys3031]

Just because you call something art doesn't mean that it is. Just delusional people in delusional world.

[@jonathanlevine8497]

You got that exactly wrong. Once an artist has declared a work as art, it is. Period. After that anyone is welcome to engage in debate about it. But if you attempt to deny that it is art, you disqualify yourself from further debate.

[@poisonsquid37]

@@jonathanlevine8497 What artist covers up an existing piece of art and calls it his? He's not an artist, he's ruining the art of past artists in an attempt to ride their coattails. He's a parasite.
