"Package 1961" is a 1961 work by Bulgarian-born artist Christo, known for his large-scale, temporary, site-specific public art. This piece, a small-scale example of his signature style, features a canvas bundle tightly wrapped in rope, highlighting the materiality of the object and its transformation. Christo's art often involves the wrapping of objects and buildings, challenging our perception of familiar forms and creating a sense of wonder and intrigue. This piece is a quintessential example of his fascination with the transformation of everyday objects.
