This mixed media work was created in 1988 as Christo and Jeanne-Claude's contribution to the Official Arts Portfolio of the XXIVth Olympiad, Seoul, Korea. It depicts their project, "Wrapped Statues, (Project for Der Glyptotek in Munich Aegean Temple)." Munich As part of one of their quixotically ambitious proposals, Christo and Jeanne-Claude sought to wrap the entire interior of the massive Glyptothek Museum in Munich. Filled exclusively with Greco-Roman sculpture, Christo aimed to obscure with fabric and cables the museum’s fourteen halls and huge inner-courtyard. This work was acquired from the private collection of Joe and Tonian Volk, renowned collectors who knew Christo.
