Art Basel Unlimited 2024
Christo
June 10–16, 2024
Messe Basel, Hall 1, U69

Art Basel Unlimited features Christo’s sculpture Wrapped 1961 Volkswagen Beetle Saloon (2014). Launched in 2000, Unlimited is an exhibition platform for large-scale projects that transcend the limits of the standard booth.
For his earlier temporary sculpture Wrapped Car (Volkswagen) (1963), Christo employed a sage-green 1961 Beetle that was lent to the artist and his wife and collaborator Jeanne-Claude by art director Claus Harden. He swathed the vehicle’s body in tarpaulin and rope, playfully intensifying the object’s mystique and invoking a new understanding of its form (Christo admired the famous “Bug” model for its rounded design as well as for its countercultural associations). Though by 2014 Christo was wrapping entire buildings, nostalgia stirred him to revisit the work by purchasing the exact same model and enlisting his nephew Vladimir Yavachev to help him wrap it. The result is Wrapped 1961 Volkswagen Beetle Saloon, which he dated 1963–2014 to express the project’s extended incubation.
