Description
Magnificent Aerial Color Photo Mounted on Board of the Surrounded Islands Project benefiting the Biscayne Bay Restoration Project, Greater Miami, Florida 1983; by world famous Environmental Activist Artist Christo, his wife Jeanne-Claude and long time personal photographer Wolfgang Volz. Title is Surrounded Islands Version 1, 1983, Print 2 of 15 printed later (unknown) by the photographer and is signed and numbered on the lower left by Wolfgang Volz, and in the lower right by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Additionally a signed swatch of the pink biodegradeable plastic skirt used to surround the islands is included below the aerial photograph in a very unique cut-out on the silk matting (I obtained this myself as part of being one of the volunteers on the project back in 1983). The image size is a HUGE 17.5" x 21.5" with 1 inch border. Paper size is 21.5" x 25.5". It is beautifully framed (cost me $750) in a ROMA Pewter limited edition frame, with 4.0" x 8.0" inch silk archival matting; framed size is 32" x 40", and the full signatures are large on the bottom of the print in wax crayon as are Christo's and Volz's trademark. You will not find a better condition, more detailed print in a better presented frame, guaranteed. My pictures do not do the work justice, and I can provide additional higher resolution photos if need be. Pictures are of the actual piece not some stock image. They were taken as side views to avoid reflection against the UV Glass that protect the work.I am selling various pieces from my collection in order to make room for newly purchased works. This wonderful masterpiece has been in my collection for several years, and has materially grown in value. Current gallery price, if you can find one, is $10,000.00 unframed, and of course without the Pink Swatch. I have confirmed with Wolfgang Volz that since my purchase he has done only one other print of this size, making only a total of 3 created to date, so this is a truly RARE PIECE. My starting price with NO RESERVE will make a lucky bidder extremely happy that they were able to get a valued heirloom to add to their collection of fine photography.I obtained the photograph directly from Wolfgang Volz while I was in Germany, and is unconditionally guaranteed as described. Please note that payment will only be accepted via Paypal or BANK CASHIER'S CHECK, with shipment effected once the funds have cleared. Shipping and handling via UPS Next Day is $275.00 to anywhere in the continental US. International shipments will be much higher depending on the location, and has to be under special arrangements after a winning bid. Anyone with NEGATIVE feedback must contact me before bidding, as I will not sell to problem bidders. Repeating winning bidders must pay via Paypal or Cashier's Check Only
