Short Review

This work by Christo represents the "Vespa", a motorcycle that is one of the most popular iconic objects. The body of the bike is made with thin cardboards superimposed in order to simulate its winding with a hypothetical fabric. On this part, as on the wheels, Christo intervened manually with crayons.
