Description
Christo and Jeanne Claude, The Umbrellas, Japan - USA, 1984-1991. This image was taken at the Japanese Site, Ibaraki. Wonderful image and a glorious, historic, prolific artist. Signed by the artists on top left corner in same blue.
It is a striking image with the deep coblat blue umbrellas and the large size of it. (please review CM measurement).

The first and only of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s projects to span two continents simultaneously, and one of their most spectacular and memorable creations: 1,340 six-meter-tall blue umbrellas were assembled and erected in Ibaraki, Japan, and 1,760 yellow umbrellas in California, USA. After months of grueling process, the two countries united as the forest of umbrellas were opened simultaneously on both continents. The blue symbolized the plenitude of water in the Japanese terrain, and the yellow represented the heat of the American valley. For Christo the umbrellas were “freestanding, dynamic modules... which reflected the availability of the land in each valley, creating an invitational, inner space.”
