Short Review
This work by Christo is more complex and is closer to objects wrapped with fabric or polyethylene. In fact, on a lithographic base on paper, reinforced by a cardboard underneath, Christo glues a cardboard having the shape of the car mentioned in the title. The cardboard is wrapped in a silk-screened fabric crossed by some string threads that simulate the ropes with which in practice the fabrics used in the installations are retained.
