Private Collection, Long Island, New York

Received directly from Christo and Jeanne-Claude during the consignor's work on The Gates project in Central Park, February, 2005.

This print is rare, as it is signed by Christo and Jeanne-Claude in saffron-colored crayon, a signature color for the artists. Most of the other impressions of this print that circulate on the auction market are signed in pencil.

Good overall condition; some slight sheet waviness; minor chip to frame glass lower left; not examined out of frame.
