This exhibition includes a wide range of works by Christo, drawn from the most important private collection of the artist's work in the Western United States. Longtime Christo collector David C. Copley has assembled a diverse collection of drawings and collages that document the range of Christo's preparatory works, from his wrapped object sculptures of the 1960s to the large-scale urban and rural public art projects conceived by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Among the works featured in the exhibition (most never exhibited publicly) are preparatory collages and drawings for such important projects as Running Fence, Sonoma and Marin Counties, California, 1972-76; and the Wrapped Reichstag, Berlin, 1975-95. These works in the Copley Collection, all of which are promised gifts to MCASD, will be accompanied by several additional works from the Museum's collection, including the life-size, illuminated sculpture Store Front, 1965-1966. Together, the two- and three-dimensional works in this exhibition provide a local complement to and context for the simultaneous exhibition, Christo and Jeanne-Claude in the Vogel Collection from the National Gallery of Art.
